“…Despite the historical background on various applications of Cannabis, its recreational use is one of the determining factors leading to the criminalization of its cultivation and related relationships, another triggering phenomenon is the growing illegal trafficking market of the plant, Paraguay being one of the largest producers in South America [8]. However, in recent years, through the debate between key actors in the field of illicit drugs and pioneering state initiatives in certain countries around the world, the legal bases have been established on issues related to the regulation of the supply, cultivation, possession and domestic consumption of the plant, as well as controls by ad hoc entities and scientific research based on it [9][10]. The Congress of Paraguay enacted law number 6007 that "Creates the national program for the study and medical and scientific research of the medicinal use of the Cannabis plant and its derivatives" [11] and its regulatory decrees for the controlled production of the plant as well as the one that establishes the general conditions for the production and industrialization of Cannabis, granting powers of application, control and supervision to governmental entities competent in the matter [12].…”

“…However, there has recently been a certain degree of open-mindedness toward the decriminalization of the possession and consumption of certain substances (mainly for cannabis) [18]. Uruguay stands out for regulating and legalizing cannabis [19], while the few harm reduction strategies have had to coexist with the prevailing prohibitionism [20]; strategies that focus primarily on smokable cocaine (crack and cocaine base paste) [21].…”

“…Por un lado, cabe señalar que toleró las iniciativas regionales que hicieron de la au sencia de la participación de EE.UU. parte de su identidad, como UNASUR o la CELAC, a la vez que aceptó algunos ajustes en la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA), liderados por el entonces secretario general José María Insulza, como por ejemplo sobre el abordaje del problema de las drogas (Álvarez, Pose y Luján, 2017). Sin embargo, al mismo tiempo, las relaciones con el Brasil del Partido de los Trabajadores (PT) eviden ciaron vaivenes y desavenencias, como las registradas respecto a la respuesta al "golpe blando" en Honduras, las disputas en la OMC o el espionaje estadounidense a las comunicaciones de altas figuras y empresas bra sileñas, incluida la propia presidenta Dilma Rousseff.…”
