Abstract
Drug Policies have not always been formulated based on the best available evidence, the evidence is produced and thought “within” the paradigms… this may explain the insistence on some approaches such as the “war on drugs” and “criminalization of users” under the criminal law, although its results have not been at all successful throughout the 20th century. The dimension of political and scientific change will be analyzed at the level of the dominant Paradigm, shedding light within the network of interactions of the community of professionals itself, and how the decisions were developed in the passage from a model focused on prohibition or criminal law, to another focused on rights, human development and public health, a path with contradictions and new challenges that demonstrate that a law is not enough to change model. In recent years, Uruguay has been experiencing a process of building alternatives in drug policies, under the principle of “common responsibility and shared management”, the promotion of “Risk and Harm Reduction” (RRDD) strategies applied to the field of Public Health, Coexistence, social development, including Criminal Policy. A set of national and comparative evidence on the decision-making processes of the new policy will also be analyzed, many of which have contributed to the foundation of Law 19,172 on the Regulation and Control of the cannabis market in Uruguay, with the purpose of reviewing its relevance. and the challenges that these new devices pose to public policy.
