To this end, a bibliographic review was carried out using the Scientific Electronic Library Online database, SciELO, Capes Periodicals, Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, Academic Virtual Library, Academic Google, as well as the theoretical foundation by the psychoanalytic framework. Through these resources, it was possible to verify that in the last ten years the population of working age, highlighting the age group between 19-45 years of age, has been using psychoactive drugs a little more than expected, considering the regulation and prevention policies.
