This study aimed to review the literature that addresses drug consumption among Physical Education students. Twelve scientific articles were selected. The most cited drugs were the licit: alcohol, tobacco and steroids. Although the education about drugs is considered an important issue for the physical education student’s health, the topic was addressed exclusively from the prohibitionist perspective, ignoring the concrete advances on harm reduction. From the selected articles, it was concluded that the topic is invisible in the curriculum and treated in a biased way, which produces misunderstandings and frustrations.
