Shaping the prohibitionist model

Abstract

The amparos in review 237/2014, 1115/2017 and 623/2017 resolved by the First Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice have opened the respective
debate to the legalization of marijuana and have also questioned the dogmas imposed by the prohibitionist model that the Mexican state
has held since the late nineteenth century. These resolutions have opted for the value of freedom and human dignity, at the same time
revealing a progressive constitutional practice that place the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation as a body of states that knew how
to expand the rights provided for express way in the constitutional text. This is how the present article affects the prohibitionist history of
the use and consumption of cannabis, at the same time that it carries out an analysis of how the ideology that supported the prohibition of
the consumption of marijuana has been shaken.
