我们目前的调查结果从80名妇女和男子谁出售Ecketone在私人环境中的定性研究。在本文中，我们探讨的身份过程中的Ecological卖家和交易的途径。受访者认为，“真实的毒贩”在公共场合向他们不认识的人出售毒品，并将毒品销售作为主要收入来源。我们发现，76%的样本抵制经销商的身份，由于与交易相关的耻辱，Eccident的良好声誉，在私人环境中销售，以及主要由朋友组成的客户群。样本中的大多数人“随波逐流”地进行交易，并没有下意识地决定出售。此外，大多数受访者没有实施预防性销售策略，这些策略是我们自己和其他调查人员对毒品市场的研究中描述的毒品交易操作的特征。兴奋的卖家为自己创造了新的、更积极的身份建构，这也是本文的一个重要焦点。
We present findings from a qualitative study of 80 women and men who sold Ecstasy in private settings. In this paper we explore Ecstasy sellers' identity processes and pathways to dealing. Interviewees believed "real dealers" sold in public settings to people they did not know and relied on drug sales as their main source of income. We found that 76% of the sample resisted the dealer identity due to the stigma associated with dealing, Ecstasy's benign reputation, selling in private settings, and customer bases that comprised mainly friends. The majority of the sample "drifted" into dealing and did not consciously decide to sell. Additionally, most interviewees did not implement precautionary sales strategies that characterize drug dealing operations described in our own and other investigators' research on drug markets. Ecstasy sellers created new, more positive identity constructions for themselves, which is also an important focus of this paper.
