Perspectiva social frente a la legalización del uso recreativo del cannabis en el Ecuador

Abstract

In this work, an analysis, comparison and compilation of information aimed at determining the viability of the cannabis legalization process is carried out, in order to determine the measures to be taken in the face of this possibility, thus contributing to the interested social sectors and the state with information that will allow them to become directly and actively involved in the path towards the legalization of cannabis in the country. While it is true that cannabis for medicinal use has already been legalized, which represents a great step forward in this area, the recreational use of this drug is an unavoidable reality that demands immediate attention. This research focuses on gathering information to understand the social perspective of a possible project to legalize the use of recreational cannabis, aiming to achieve the benefits that have already benefited other states that have already legalized and regularized cannabis completely within their legal regulations.
