新興毒品市場販賣特性之初探──以中、小盤販售者為例

A Preliminary Research on the New Psychoactive Substance Trafficking Patterns-The perspective from retail sellers

本研究以某監獄五名具新興毒品使用及販賣經驗之受刑人進行訪談，主要在探討我國新興毒品販售者在毒品市場中的銷售策略、交易管道、用藥習慣與認知等，並以Moustakas與鈕文英對於現象學之基礎進行資料分析，研究分析顯示新興毒品販售者在藥物市場的生存法則。研究發現如下，一、除傳統銷售與廣告方式，國外毒販已大量使用網路行銷的販售或行銷手段，應注意我國網路販毒之情形。二、新興毒品市場文化中極度注重個人名聲與利益，買賣雙方則為互利共生的依附關係。三、吸販新興毒品的族群年輕化，顯示初次接觸藥物的年齡有下降之趨勢。四、混合毒品趨勢明顯增加之下，將造成藥物濫用歷程的縮短，也提升藥物濫用者接觸硬性藥物之情形。五、受訪者運用中立化技術，看待新興毒品的成癮及危害性。本研究為一探索性研究，嘗試從販賣者的角度描繪我國新興毒品的交易模式，呈現我國新興毒品市場販賣者與販賣特性的初步樣貌。未來研究可考慮加入大型樣本調查研究，累積更多證據以利研擬妥適之新興毒品預防控制策略。

The current exploratory study attempted to depict the trading patterns of New Psychoactive Substance (NPS) in Taiwan from the perspective of traffickers. In this study, five inmates with experience of NPS use and trafficking were interviewed. The study mainly explored marketing/selling strategies and trading channels of NPS traffickers, as well as family relationships, knowledge, and recognition of drug use. The Moustakas framework of Phenomenological Methodology was adopted. The study found several different survival strategies for drug dealers in the market. First, foreign countries have been using the internet as a major marketing method. Second, the NPS market culture emphasizes personal fame and reputation. As a result, buyers and sellers are living on a mutually beneficial and symbiotic dependency relationship. Third, higher occurrence in drug uses and sales towards younger indicates a possible downward trend in the age of the first contact with drugs. Fourth, a significant increase in the trend of polydrug use has resulted in a shortening of the drug abuse history and increased the likelihood of drug users being exposed to hard drugs. Fifth, respondents may use neutralization techniques on addictiveness and harmfulness of NPS. The current study presents a preliminary picture of the traffickers and characteristics of the NPS market. Future studies may consider including investigations with larger samples to accumulate more evidence to support making better control strategies and prevention guideline.
