This article examines the political formulation and ideological solution of the Swedish drug problem in 1982-2000. How was the drug problem described in the Swedish parliament at the time? How serious was the problem and what solutions were proposed? What were the ideological implications of the problem description, and how was the general political and ideological solution formulated?
The empirical basis for the textual analysis consists of parliamentary bills, government bills and parliamentary records discussing the drug issue during the years 1982-2000.
In the prevailing spirit of consensus in the Swedish parliament at the time, both left-wing and right-wing parties portrayed drugs as a threat to the nation, people and the welfare state. Still, as the ideological dimension kept growing stronger, the drug question functioned even better as an arena for political discussions and ideological positions than in the 1970s.
Compared to previous decades, the problem description broadened during the 1980s and 1990s, and the drug problem could be used to support arguments on almost any topic. The drug problem became a highly politicized issue about whom or what to change when the individual and the society clashed, but also about what the individual and/or society should be changed into.
本文考察了 1982 年至 2000 年瑞典毒品问题的政治表述和意识形态解决方案。当时瑞典议会是如何描述毒品问题的？问题有多严重，提出了哪些解决方案？问题描述的意识形态含义是什么，以及如何制定总体政治和意识形态解决方案？
本文的文本分析的实证基础包括 1982 年至 2000 年间讨论毒品问题的议会法案、政府法案和议会记录。
在当时瑞典议会的共识精神的主导下，左翼和右翼政党都将毒品描绘成对国家、人民和福利国家的威胁。尽管如此，随着意识形态维度的不断增强，毒品问题作为政治讨论和意识形态立场的舞台，其作用甚至比 20 世纪 70 年代更为突出。
与前几十年相比，20 世纪 80 年代和 90 年代的问题描述有所扩大，毒品问题几乎可以用来支持关于任何话题的论点。当个人和社会发生冲突时，毒品问题成为一个高度政治化的问题，涉及到应该改变谁或什么，以及个人和/或社会应该被改变成什么。
