Abstract
En el presente artículo hacemos una descripción de la política de drogas en Chile en relación al porte de sustancias ilícitas para consumo per-sonal, específicamente de cannabis. Para ello articulamos la teoría ideacional -a través de una propuesta conceptual, el esquema cognitivo-normativo que predomina en la dirigencia política- con la perspectiva de las políticas públicas morales. El objetivo es mostrar cómo el esquema cognitivo-normativo que se formó en la dirigencia chilena en los ‘70 cuando el problema de las drogas entra en la agenda legislativa ha perdurado a lo largo del desarrollo de la política de drogas. Examinamos los procesos que dieron como resultado las leyes 17.934 de 1973, la 18.403 dictada en 1985 así como la ley 19.366 de 1995 y la 20.000 promulgada en 2005. Finalmente analizamos el intento por regular el porte y el autocultivo de cannabis durante 2014-2015.
In this article we describe drug policy in Chile in relation to the pos-session of illicit substances for personal consumption, specifically cannabis. To do so, we articulate ideational theory – through a conceptual proposal, the cognitive-normative scheme that predominates in the country’s political lea-dership – with the perspective of moral policies. The objective is to show how the cognitive-normative scheme that was formed in the Chilean leadership in the 1970s, when the drug problem entered the legislative agenda, has endured throughout the evolution of drug policy. We examine the processes that resul-ted in laws 17.934 of 1973, 18.403 dictated in 1985, 19.366 of 1995 and 20.000 promulgated in 2005. Finally, we analyze the attempt to regulate the possession and personal cultivation of cannabis during 2014-2015.
