This article analyzes the use of science as a political tool in prohibitionist logic, adopting an externalist perspective. Prohibitionism strives to have its political-moral precepts be considered scientific, that is, the result of an ideologically neutral research process. The article analyzes the case of cannabis and psychedelics to show how prohibitionism has only resorted to "science" to hide its political-moral agenda, while ignoring the results of scientific research that did not fit its apriorisms. Finally, we argue that drug policies should be based on scientific evidence and on certain basic values - the defense of public health, social cohesion, Human Rights - such that an analysis in terms of power relations would allow us to better understand the contradictory relationships between science and drug policies.
本文采用外在主义视角，分析了科学在禁酒主义逻辑中作为一种政治工具的运用。禁酒主义力图使其政治道德戒律被视为科学的，也就是说，是一个意识形态中立的研究过程的结果。本文分析了大麻和迷幻药的案例，以表明禁酒主义是如何仅仅诉诸“科学”来掩盖其政治道德议程的，同时却忽视了不符合其先入之见的科学研究结果。最后，我们认为毒品政策应基于科学证据和某些基本价值观——对公众健康的保护、社会凝聚力、人权——因此，从权力关系角度进行分析将使我们能够更好地理解科学与毒品政策之间的矛盾关系。
