Analysis of the drug consumption table in Ecuador
Autora: Grace Maricela Cárdenas Padilla (Unidad Educativa José Peralta)
Resumen
Para iniciar, podemos decir que las drogas son todas aquellas sustancias que alteran el funcionamiento del cerebro y del cuerpo humano. Sin embargo, es importante hacer una pequeña pero muy importante aclaración, ya que muchos consideran que las drogas son solo aquellas sustancias que producen una alteración en el comportamiento de la persona como: marihuana, cocaína, heroína, por nombrar algunas, y que por ello están sujetas a prohibición en su producción, tenencia, almacenaje, distribución, venta, transporte, etc. No obstante, no solo esas sustancias son drogas, ya que como hemos dicho, las drogas son todas aquellas sustancias que alteran el funcionamiento del cuerpo y la mente, incluyendo los medicamentos sin control de un profesional.
El objetivo de esta investigación es dar a conocer el mal uso de la tabla de drogas, a través de una revisión bibliográfica en bases de datos académicas. Veremos cómo los delincuentes, enfermos, adictos y administradores de justicia hacen mal uso de la tabla del consumo de drogas, algo que afecta a la sociedad. La metodología empleada es de corte descriptivo, llegando a la conclusión de que la tabla de consumo de drogas es una herramienta que no aporta con elementos de juicio necesarios para la aplicación de sentencias por parte de los órganos de justicia.
Palabras clave: tabla de drogas, adicciones, derogar, salud pública.
Abstract
To begin, we can say that drugs are all substances that alter the functioning of the brain and the human body. However, it is important to make a small but very important clarification, as many consider that drugs are only those substances that cause behavioral changes in a person, such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, to name a few, and that are therefore subject to prohibition in their production, possession, storage, distribution, sale, transport, etc. Nevertheless, these substances are not the only drugs, since, as we have said, drugs include all substances that alter the functioning of the body and mind, including medications without professional control.
The objective of this research is to raise awareness about the misuse of the drug consumption table through a bibliographic review of academic databases. We will see how criminals, patients, addicts, and justice administrators misuse the drug consumption table, which negatively affects society. The methodology used is descriptive, concluding that the drug consumption table is a tool that does not provide the necessary elements of judgment for the application of sentences by justice bodies.
Keywords: drug table, addictions, repeal, public health.
