There is a body of methamphetamine-themed poetry that speaks regretfully of the highly negative experiences of those in recovery from methamphetamine (MA) addiction or who feel trapped in an MA-using lifestyle. During ethnographic research in western Kentucky, the author collected two MA-themed poems from active MA users that differ from other MA poetry. They describe misadventures that occur during MA "binges." However, the text and tone of the poems are comically ironic and represent optimism rather than regret toward MA use. Analyzing these poems provides valuable insights into local patterns of MA use, related terminology, and attitudes toward MA use.
有一批以冰毒为主题的诗歌,反映了那些正在戒冰毒(MA)或感觉被困在冰毒使用生活方式中的人的高度负面经历,表达了遗憾之情。在肯塔基州西部进行的人种学研究中,作者从活跃的 MA 用户那里收集到两首以 MA 为主题的诗歌,它们与其他 MA 诗歌不同。这些诗歌描述了 MA“狂欢”期间发生的不幸事件。然而,诗歌的文本和语气具有讽刺的喜剧效果,代表了对 MA 使用的乐观而不是遗憾。分析这些诗歌为了解当地的 MA 使用模式、相关术语和对 MA 使用的态度提供了有价值的见解。
