Abstract

Objectives: To explore the concepts of governmentality, biopower and subjectification observing them together with the evolution of the contemporary neuro-explanatory discourse, and to critically review a local legislative gesture on cannabis trying to corroborate the coherence between it, the neuro-narratives of the disease and the pending problems in neurological and mental health. Methods: Critical reflection exercise on a selection of digital bibliography. Results and Conclusions: When mental health is a government issue, the first line is the use of psychotropic drugs and stigmatization. The availability of neuro-knowledge allows the exercise of power through the application of technological devices on the brains (on behalf of people) and the relationships between minds, people and things like psychopharmaceutical substances called "drugs". A critical view of legislation on Cannabis in Colombia shows that it does not seem to seek the benefit of the population nor is it consistent with a comprehensive approach to neuropsychiatric disease in the country.
