dc.description.abstract	This paper is organized into four parts of discussion. Firstly, we present the Portuguese decriminalization law and the central role of harm reduction within this framework. The second section discusses the mainstream meanings ascribed to the 'HR double' mainly anchored in problematic drug uses. The third section highlights the need to take into account the specificities of recreational drug uses, users and environments. Thus, the paper highlights the experience of the Kosmicare Project at the Boom Festival, which combines principles of harm reduction, crisis intervention and Grof's approach. The fourth section draws upon the project's experience itself and in the idea of the normalization of drug uses to acknowledge and to discuss the potentialities, tensions and limitations of these contributions when it comes to analyzing and constructing a strong version of the 'HR double'.	pt_PT
dc.description.abstract	O presente texto está organizado em quatro secções de discussão. Em primeiro lugar, discute-se a lei portuguesa de descriminalização do uso de drogas e a sua função na abordagem da redução de riscos. A segunda parte discute os significados tipicamente atribuídos ao ‘HR double’, geralmente ancorados em usos de drogas problemáticos. A terceira parte enfatiza a necessidade de tomar em linha de conta as especificidades dos usos de drogas em contextos de lazer, seus consumidores e ambientes. Assim, este trabalho privilegia a experiência do Projeto Kosmicare no Boom Festival, que combina princípios de redução de riscos, de intervenção em crise e da abordagem de Grof. A quarta secção é desenvolvida a partir do projeto em si e da ideia de normalização de usos de drogas, de modo a reconhecer e a discutir as potencialidades, tensões e limitações destas contribuições quando se trata de analisar e construir uma versão forte do ‘HR double’.
dc.description.abstract	Le présent article est organisé en quatre sections de discussion. La première présente la loi portugaise de décriminalisation d’usage de drogues et son rôle central de réduction des risques dans ce cadre. La deuxième examine le sens généralement attribué à “double HR”, principalement ancré dans les usages de drogues problématiques. La troisième met l’accent sur la nécessité d’examiner les spécificités des drogues récréatives, ses utilisateurs et environnements. Ainsi, cet article se concentre sur l’expérience du “Kosmicare Project” au Boom Festival, qui combine les principes de réduction de risques, d’intervention de crises et de l’approche de Grof. La quatrième section s’appuie sur l’expérience du projet lui-même et sur l’idée de la normalisation de l’usage de drogues pour reconnaître et discuter les potentialités, tensions et limitations de ces contributions en matière d’analyse et de construction d’une version forte de “double HR”.
