Abstract
This paper is part of the dossier that celebrates the 40th anniversary of Psicologia: Ciência e Profissão journal. It aims to analyze reports about alcohol and other drugs published in the journal from 2005 to 2018. In order to do that, 18 papers were identified from all the ones published in regular issues of the journal that had this subject as their central focus. The papers were fully read and categorized in accordance with four sub-themes: a) reasons leading to the consumption of alcohol and other drugs; b) production of truths about drug users; c) prevention and treatment; and d) analysis of drug-related policies. At the end, there are some reflections on the implications of knowledge production in Psychology on the formulation of drug-related policies.
