Esa posicion gubernamental de indole punitiva se consolido durante el periodo comprendido entre 1917 y 1947, es decir, entre la promulgacion de la Constitucion Politica y una serie de reformas realizadas al Codigo Penal Federal. La exploracion y analisis de esas leyes requirio documentar la discusion cientifica en torno a los procesos legislativos: una discusion que en ciertos momentos respaldo, y en otros critico, la posicion gubernamental. En funcion de este trabajo de documentacion historica —y en el marco de las primeras prohibiciones nacionales e internacionales sobre el cannabis— se articulan opiniones medicas y juridicas, y se exploran los puntos donde la ciencia y las leyes coincidieron, y aquellos donde se contrapusieron. Abstract This article documents and analyzes the drug laws that enabled and created the space fo...

An increasingly punitive government posture was adopted during the period from 1917 to 1947, i.e., between the promulgation of the Constitution and the incorporation of a series of reforms into the Federal Penal Code. The study and analysis of these laws required the documentation of scientific discussions surrounding the legislative process: discussions that sometimes supported and, at others, were critical of the government's position. Based on this review of the historical documentation-and within the framework of the initial domestic and international prohibitions of cannabis-medical and legal opinions are articulated, and the areas in which science and the law either coincided or entered into conflict are explored.

Cannabis: Global Histories , 2021

This book gathers together authors from the new wave of cannabis histories that has emerged in recent decades. It offers case studies from Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East. It does so to trace a global history of the plant and its preparations, arguing that Western colonialism shaped and disseminated ideas in the nineteenth century that came to drive the international control regimes of the twentieth.
More recently, the emergence of commercial interests in cannabis has been central to the challenges that have undermined that cannabis consensus. Throughout, the determination of people around the world to consume substances made from the plant has defied efforts to stamp them out and often transformed the politics and cultures of using them. These texts also suggest that globalization might have a cannabis history. The migration of consumers, the clandestine networks established to supply them, and international cooperation on control may have driven much of the interconnectedness that is a key feature of the contemporary world.

The Social History of Alcohol and Drugs, 2020

Article 73 was—and remains—the legal basis for a complex governmental strategy that, as of its inception, has given shape to a juridical framework that is applied unevenly and in a differentiated manner to drug and alcohol policy in Mexico. Based on an analysis of the most relevant alcohol and drugs norms promulgated during the last five centuries in what is now Mexico, this essay aims to review the historical process that led, first, to a national “campaign” and, subsequently, to a public policy that, on the one hand, attempted to control problems relating to alcoholic beverages through an administrative approach, but which, on the other, endeavored to suppress—through the implementation of a punitive juridical scheme—what the Mexican government abstractly conceptualized as drugs “that poison the individual and degenerate the race.”

Por un lado, examinar la historia de los usos terapéuticos y medicinales del cannabis en México; por el otro, exponer el proceso histórico que ha dado lugar a una compleja discusión sobre los usos médicos del cannabis en el México contemporáneo. La primera parte del artículo documenta la manera cómo la planta cannabis y sus derivados fueron incorporados en la farmacéutica mexicana durante el siglo XIX y principios del XX. La segunda parte expone el proceso tras el cual la planta cannabis dejó de ser considerada por los discursos oficiales un medicamento, para convertirse en una droga prohibida en el siglo XX. A la luz de esos antecedentes, la tercera sección expone de manera puntual el debate legislativo que actualmente busca reivindicar los usos medicinales del cannabis en México. Para la elaboración de este artículo se sistematizaron fuentes documentales de naturaleza diversa, las cuales fueron abordadas desde perspectivas ancladas tanto en la hi...
