Abstract

Drug trafficking and illicit drug use are a major global problem, due to their multiple negative effects, particularly in medical, criminological and national security terms. This article presents the risks of developing addictive antisocial behavior in the context of problematic information source management. Insufficient education regarding the risks of accessing unfiltered information sources, the ease of interacting with a much larger set of information than the user can control, and the indiscriminate receptivity of the value systems of the group of affiliation represent risk factors for developing antisocial behavior in multiple forms, including addictive antisocial behavior.
