Umbrales de consumo de drogas, derogación de la tabla e implicaciones jurídicas en el Ecuador.

Abstract

Including in the social and legal language the differentiation between trafficking, microtraffickingand drug consumption has meant for Ecuador one of the greatest challenges so far in the 21st century. Unquestionably, drug trafficking and organized crime related to drugs find a real attraction in our territory, due to a series of characteristics such as its short territorial extension, a road infrastructure that facilitates mobilization between borders in a short time, dollarization, informality in asset management, the navigable and boat-friendly coastal profile, among many other factors. On the other hand, Ecuador has undertaken a tireless fight to adapt to these inevitable scenarios, where the sale and consumption of drugs are an unavoidable reality. For there to be consumption, there must be sale; and being an illegal product, the sale requires the application of the concept of drug trafficking or microtrafficking, all these ideas are concatenated and have legal implications that need to be explored. This research work will seek to explore the legal implications that concern the regulatory changes that have been taking place regarding drug consumption and trafficking in Ecuador.
