Abstract

A very relevant debate today
It corresponds to the regulation of the use of marijuana.
There are two approaches, the prohibitionist and the
permissionist. A recent amparo ruling
The Supreme Court in Mexico has opened the door to
a permissive position on the use of this narcotic,
based on the free development of personality by
first time. This text is incorporated into the debate from
the problem generated by criminal punishment for the use of
marijuana, as well as the existing discrimination
against consumers.
