Two recent court decisions in South America have reflected a growing backlash in the region against the so-called, U.S.-led "war on drugs". In Argentina, the Supreme Court of Justice ruled unanimously on 25 August 2009 that the second paragraph of Article 14 of the country's drug control legislation, which punishes the possession of drugs for personal consumption, was unconstitutional. In Colombia, the Supreme Court of Justice ruled on 8 July 2009 that the possession of illegal drugs for personal use was not a criminal offence.
南美洲最近的两项法院判决反映出该地区对所谓美国主导的“毒品战争”的强烈抵制情绪日益高涨。在阿根廷，最高法院于2009年8月25日一致裁定，该国毒品管制立法第14条第二段将持有供个人消费的毒品定为犯罪的规定违宪。在哥伦比亚，最高法院于2009年7月8日裁定，持有供个人使用的非法毒品并非刑事犯罪。
