Abstract

This monograph proposes a reflection on the use of psychoactive substances classified as illegal by human beings. It is intended to draw a historical view to address the issue of drug use and the way the legal systems around the world deal with this issue. After presenting the main policies of contemporary drugs, treating the subject on the dichotomy prohibition versus legalization and social consequences of these phenomena, will seek to approach it in Brazil, analyzing the legislative development to current law 11.343/06, in the light of constitutional principles. The final attention will be given to the City of Juiz de For that, through a partnership between the Judiciary and CEAPA Program, execute the penalties for drug users. Despite the perceived of beneficial evolution in addressing the drug user, it is understood that the policy of prohibiting the possession of drugs for consumption is not effective to achieve the goals it sets itself, not matching with a Democratic State of Law.
