Abstract

CASTRO, Marco Vinicius de  and  FRAGA, Paulo Cesar Pontes. CANNABIS USERS-GROWERS NETWORKS IN BRAZIL. MORAL MOBILES AND SOCIAL RELATIONS. SOCIOLOGIA ON LINE [online]. 2021, n.25, pp.86-107.  Epub Feb 08, 2022. ISSN 1647-3337.  https://doi.org/10.30553/sociologiaonline.2021.25.4.

This article focuses on actors who grow their own marijuana for social-recreational use to assess whether their actions, interactions and associations give rise to moral effects. Based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out in a city in the interior of Brazil it is observed that such users who grow their own marijuana establish a single form of moral life and configure moral networks and social relationships through their practices. Therefore, the home planting of marijuana itself is considered as a source of sui generis moral relations, as well as a legitimate moral feeling of liberation from formal and informal repressions that these actors suffer.

Keywords : morality; actors; growers; marijuana..
