| Sumario: | In the biennium 1923-1924, the first specific and restricting laws against narcotics –such as opium, morphine, cocaine, heroin, and marijuana– were enacted. These measures marked the historical moment when the positions against the free use of opiates and alkaloids –positions that came from the global context, the ruling elites, the medical profession, and the mass media– crystallize in regulations for controlling, distributing, and commercializing of those substances. By analyzing the arguments by which a hegemonic anti-narcotics consensus was built up, and by emphasizing the convergences and nuances that emerged during which the social and the political were indissolubly joint together, this article critically inquire into the foundations of the regulationists discourses of that period. |
