The aim of this work is to guide the reader, with due respect, through a journey articulated by narratives constructed from real cases and circumstances studied over the past few years. It is an invitation to understand, even through an almost sensory experience, those realities that can be perceived by closing one's eyes and, through reflection, reconstructing the scenarios described herein. To this end, the book offers an exposition grounded in more than four decades of experience in the field, further enriched by the collaboration of an interdisciplinary team of researchers from diverse areas of knowledge.

In this context, the increasingly widespread international emergence of the anti-prohibitionist approach takes on special relevance. Its presence in comparative law has been consolidated in recent decades, particularly with regard to the regulation of cannabis. This paradigm shift emerges after more than sixty years of the predominance of the prohibitionist model, which, in its practical application, has generated profound social consequences, including the criminalization of numerous young people subjected to prison sentences for conduct related to substances included in the restrictive lists of international conventions, traditionally classified as serious and complex crimes.

However, one of the most evident structural flaws of this model has been its inability to adequately distinguish between consumers and those involved in the distribution and illicit trafficking of narcotics and psychotropic substances. This confusion has led to inadequate judicial treatment, which not only ignores the distinct nature of these behaviors but also violates the fundamental rights of those who are addicted. It is important to remember that, from a public health perspective, drug dependence has been conceptualized as a psychological and sometimes physical state resulting from repeated substance use, which implies the need for a therapeutic, rather than merely punitive, approach.
