In this paper, we analyze the Project of Reform of the Criminal Code of Argentina, which proposes the decriminalization of the use of drugs for personal consumption under two requirements: that it is a small amount of narcotics and that the conduct is carried out privately, without transcendence to third parties. In addition to the precedents of the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation that we analyzed, we have also made a detailed study of the technological and sociological reality of today's world, which to a greater or lesser extent reaches the majority of western societies and how these changes, which entail another of the great historical revolutions such as the industrial one, influence the current life and alter the behavior of individuals.
