Pandemic; Antiprohibitionism; Marijuana.
The research utilizes concepts and methodologies that intersect with various sciences/narratives, mainly from the fields of Sociology, Anthropology, Politic Science and History, in order to translate into scientific terms, the networks of emergence/global warming of the Anti-Prohibitionist Social Movement in Brazil. The 21st century COVID-19 pandemic period, as well as the consequent social isolation, made humanity dive deeper into the technological world and its communication tools, mainly through the internet, which profoundly altered the way of activism for the Marches for Marijuana and the self-proclaimed Anti-Prohibitionist Social Movement. Thus, the focus of this research is to investigate the network that fostered the emergence of the National Articulation of Marches for Marijuana (ANMM), trying to understand what this organization is, what it does, how it is organized, and furthermore, this research seeks to demonstrate the impacts and profound changes that the pandemic caused in this type of social struggle for the legalization of marijuana and anti-prohibitionism.
