This crime is typified in article 368 of the Penal Code and, unlike most crimes, the protected good is a collective good and not an individual one, the public, collective and community health.
It condemns those who elaborate, cultivate, traffic, or simply promote or facilitate the illegal consumption of toxic drugs, narcotics or psychotropic substances, as well as those who possess them for the same purpose.
The intention of the person responsible for this crime, i.e., malice, is evident. The accused of a drug trafficking crime acts with a clear profit motive, to obtain a benefit thanks to the trafficking, processing or cultivation of these drugs.
