The Long War on Drugs
Echoes of the Past in the Present: The Political Uses and Abuses of History in Contemporary Cannabis Debates in Latin America
History is not only written and read but used in contemporary cannabis debates. Legislative debates in Uruguay and Mexico have invoked purported precedents, previous presidents and policy precursors. Yet, the past is not invariably used in the present. In Chile, historical referents have not featured prominently in contemporary debates.
