The drug Barony and the fallacy of the parallel State

badges, uniforms and bibles at the service of themselves and their privileges

Abstract

This article seeks to consolidate a better understanding of the war on drugs policy from an educational perspective. To this end, it seeks to demonstrate, through news and scientific studies, another version of the dominant interpretation of the war on drugs policy. In this sense, it focuses on the definitions of the Parallel State, and then presents the elements that constitute this discursive process and the social groups affected by it. Finally, it presents the possibility of education for the drug as an effective way to combat misinformation on the subject, and also the legalization of drugs as a way to effectively break with the fallacious patterns that constitute the war on drugs.
