本文报告了六年来大麻市场的人种学和定性研究的结果。数据包括对 60 名大麻经销商和 60 名顾客的采访。该文件从挪威的角度描述了大麻经济的纵向和横向组织。它进一步区分私人、半公共和公共大麻市场。大麻经济中最重要的文化影响是私人市场的非商业大麻文化和公共市场的暴力街头文化。这些与一般市场文化共存。市场和市场文化之间的差异说明了非法毒品市场是如何运作的，而不是“自然的”，因此也说明了经济社会学对于非法毒品市场研究的重要性。
This paper reports findings from six years of ethnographic and qualitative research on cannabis markets. Data include interviews with 60 cannabis dealers and 60 customers. The paper describes the vertical and horizontal organization of the cannabis economy, seen from the perspective of Norway. It further distinguishes between private, semi-public and public cannabis markets. The most important cultural influences in the cannabis economy are a non-commercial cannabis culture in private markets and a violent street culture in public markets. These coexist with a general market culture. The difference between markets and market cultures illustrates how illegal drug markets are performed, not ‘natural’, and thus the importance of economic sociology for the study of illegal drug markets.
