RESUMEN
Resumen Al hablar del abordaje de salud pública al uso de la marihuana se soslaya la complejidad de la protección a la población a través de intervenciones regulatorias rigurosas. Considerando la experiencia de gobiernos donde ya existen estas prácticas, se introduce la regulación como una función esencial de la salud pública, haciendo explícitos siete propósitos para el control de la marihuana. Se detallan luego los elementos técnicos, de capacidad institucional (incluyendo la capacidad técnica y financiera) y de gobernanza que deben cumplirse para cualquier regulación rigurosa de su uso. Se señala la dificultad de regular sustancias psicoactivas considerando que la capacidad de control de otras actualmente legales se ha traducido en su creciente consumo. Se expone también que no debe minimizarse la necesidad del fortalecimiento institucional y gobernanza de la autoridad regulatoria para la regulación efectiva de la marihuana.
ABSTRACT
Abstract When discussing the public health approach to the use of marijuana, the complexity of rigorous regulatory interventions for population protection is omitted. Using the experience of governments where these practices already exist, regulation is introduced as an essential public health function, spelling out seven purposes for controlling marijuana. The technical elements of institutional capacity -including the technical and financial capacity- and of governance that must be covered by any rigorous regulation of its use are detailed below. The difficulty of regulating psychoactive substances is addressed when considering the capacity to control other legal substances manifested with their increased consumption. It is concluded that for an effective regulation of marijuana, the need for strengthening the institutional and governance aspects of the regulatory authority should not be minimized.
