Abstract

El presente documento analiza la evolución del consumo de drogas en Colombia durante los últimos anos. El análisis, realizado con base en las encuestas de la Dirección Nacional de Estupefacientes, muestra que el consumo de drogas creció de manera sustancial entre 1996 y 2008. El crecimiento se dio para ambos géneros, todas las edades, estratos y tipos de ocupación. Los resultados sugieren además que los hombres de estratos altos que consumen asiduamente alcohol y cigarrillos y que están entre los 18 y los 24 anos de edad son los más propensos a consumir drogas. Finalmente, el documento presenta algunos indicios indirectos que contradicen los supuestos efectos de la Sentencia de la Corte Constitucional (Sentencia C-221 de Mayo de 1994) que despenalizó la dosis personal sobre el consumo de drogas en Colombia.
