- Title

- Abstract
The concept of personal drug consumption was provided for in Colombian law with the passage of Act 30/1986. The Constitutional Court, in ruling C-221/ 1994, settled a suit filed by Alexandre Sochandamandou on constitutionality by ratifying the concept of a 'personal drug dose' and decriminalizing it. The suggestion in this articleis that ignorance of Colombian legislation and case law concerning technical-scientific opinion on this issue has caused a range of problems, inconsistencies, gaps and technical and scientific inaccuracies that are at odds with international standards and treaties on medical ethics and with medical evidence on the adverse effects of drugs on the health of those who consume them.
