Abstract

The reduction of drug consumption is wanted. Prevailing the actual consumption of drugs is undesirable because of the risk that it supposes towards the health and well-being of individuals that are surrounded by that reality.

The decriminalization of drugs is necessary to achieve a successful and healthy process of reduction of drug consumption. This is why Decriminalization must be implemented.
