Summary/Abstract: Deviance and simultaneous use of drugs is explained and interpreted from several theoretical angles. Great importance in understanding this phenomenon and its presence, use and utilization among young people, has been done in the field of medical, social, psychological, biological and other sciences. Our interest in this article is focused on sociological discourse, on understanding the causes and consequences of deviance and the social character of drug use. Sociology, as a science but also as a practice, does not focus on the mistakes of individuals and the personal consequences that arise from those mistakes, in order to explain the phenomenological aspect of this phenomenon and the social problems that arise. It explores the structural and cultural factors that lead to such behaviors and problems, most commonly among the younger population. In this article, we will explain the most important sociological perspectives, as well as sociological theories, which treat deviant forms of behavior, this type of social pathologies, that is, drug use and addiction.
