Abstract
This research was conducted with the aim of presenting drug use in adolescents, from the perception of the adolescent himself. The methodology used was qualitative and ethnographic in design. Through the instrument applied, we found that adolescents indicated that drug use is due to peer pressure, because they are in a stage of acquiring their own identity and belonging to a group can become a pressure and impulsive decisions. In addition, they pointed out that the main consequence is social repercussions and deterioration of academic performance due to the psychological impact caused by drugs. Drug use in adolescents is a social problem in our country that must be addressed, for which it is necessary to identify the risk factors and consequences of drug use in order to establish coping strategies for this population.
