Studies point out that they are different types of presentation of the cocaine derivatives, which are: salt, crack, home folder, the latter being the form used in Mato Grosso, due to the nearby border with producing countries. Therefore, the base folder or crack tends to be interpreted symbolically differently compared to other psychoactive substances, being understood as socially responsible by most contemporary problems, making secondary problems and issues related to the drugs and not prohibited for purposes prescribed medication whose harmful effects caused by improper use or not, end up being invisible on the agendas of government discussions. Thus, the question requires analysis in multidimensional views, which are capable of interacting individual experience, biographies, with the macro-structural approaches, as well as the psychosocial work organization, knowledge and therapies that accompany and harmonize with other care alternatives, or with the various social groups that provide support to the diseased.
