Drugged pleasures: Commentary

The 2008 IJDP special issue on pleasure was described by the editors as taking some ‘initial steps towards voicing the varied experience of pleasure as well as theorising its place in drug policy and practice’ (Holt& Treloar, 2008, p. 351). This current issue clearly extends on those initial steps with a rich and compelling array of research engaging with the experience and enactment of drugged pleasures. It does this by linking the exploration of pleasure with the ontological and materialist approaches adopted in recent sociological work on drugs (Duff, 2013; Fraser, 2017).
