Drug use is a social and cultural complex phenomenon, which cannot be limited to interaction of biological, situational, judicial or environmental variables, that favor the risk of addiction or delinquency; that is why, the state intervention ought to go beyond the sanitary medical model, as well as the punitive judicial model, in order to provide macro-structural to the complexity of the situation. Such measures should guarantee education, dignified jobs, recreation, housing and other social benefits that people who use drugs have rights to, as citizens who are equal before the law, in equity and democracy.
