Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to determine the influence of the decriminalization of the personal dose against the abuse of marijuana, in which the data collection was carried out through two qualitative evaluation instruments: first an interview was conducted semistructured which consisted of 10 questions and then a focus group consisting of 5 questions executed to 30 young marijuana users aged between 18 and 29 years of El Diviso neighborhood of Comuna 14 Morrorico of the City of Bucaramanga , all the questions were structured in three Categories: Consumption, Knowledge and Consequences. These are oriented to comply with the general objective, as well as to identify if consumers are aware of the law 30 of 1986 on the decriminalization of the personal dose and analyze the changes and consequences generated after the decriminalization of the personal dose. Based on this, it is concluded that the subjects responded that their consumption increased and remained stable, evidencing that for them there is the influence of decriminalization of the personal dose on it, which they justify by the easy access to the substance, although To the theoretical review on similar research (Sáenz, 2009), it is estimated that it is not possible to associate only the increase in consumption with decriminalization, but it must be accompanied by a public policy plan aimed at regulating consumption, addressing itself as a public health problem. Similarly, the prior knowledge that the subjects have about the decriminalization of the personal dose is significant, since most of them express knowing of this the size and amount allowed, the non-consumption in public places and the legal problems that arise can take over. Likewise, some of the subjects express that they generated changes that they consider positive such as free expression, personality development, easy access, tranquility and patience. In turn, they identified negative changes in the family, academic environment, anxiety and relapses in consumption. Among the consequences generated by the decriminalization of the personal dose are the constant complaints of the community for consumption near their homes, as well as the abuse of authority, discrimination, disrespect, violation of rights, exclusion and antipathy he does them. It is important to clarify that the analysis of this collected information was carried out through matrices that allow an analysis by categories and finally the discussion of all the data thrown. Also, it is found, approach and description of the problem, as well as the theoretical framework with the corresponding chapters for the contextualization of the subject. In the legal framework are all the laws, legislative acts and judgments that have transcended the use of marijuana and its decriminalization; and in the state of art, similar regional, national and international research or with the same object of study. Next, find all the information necessary for the research study.
