Marihuana: lo que sigue es regular
En respuesta a la convocatoria a los foros sobre marihuana que ha hecho el Gobierno
Federal, las personas y organizaciones que suscribimos esta carta exhortamos a los
funcionarios públicos del Poder Ejecutivo a garantizar que el debate nacional sobre la
regulación sea serio, basado en evidencia científica y en el análisis racional de las
políticas públicas y mantenga como punto prioritario la protección de los derechos
humanos de todas y todos los mexicanos. La Corte se pronunció con claridad sobre el
derecho fundamental; corresponde ahora discutir, a partir de ese reconocimiento, las
mejores estrategias de regulación y de políticas en torno a la marihuana.
Desde hace ya varios años, la sociedad civil, la academia y el Congreso de la Unión han
llevado a cabo diversos foros y encuentros donde se ha dado un diálogo dinámico y
polémico sobre la política de drogas en general y sobre la mariguana en particular. Existe,
además, un debate global que por casi una década ha planteado alternativas a la política
prohibicionista, que usa al derecho penal y la persecución policiaca como principal forma
de control de sustancias y reducción de la oferta y la demanda. Así, con su convocatoria
al Debate Nacional sobre el Uso de la Marihuana, el Gobierno Federal se suma a una
debate que lleva años abierto. Nos preocupa que con ello pretenda exclusivamente ganar
tiempo ysustituir la acción con una discusión estérilque no tome en cuenta todo lo
avanzado en la deliberación previa y lo que la Corte Suprema ha resuelto en materia de
derechos fundamentales.
