SUMMARY:

The prohibitionism may be understood as a set of conventions and legislations that guide the action of the states in terms of determined drugs, understood here as psychoactive substances shown in the illegality. However, this goes beyond because it changes the other possible ways of relating such substances, making them essentially negative to the society. The reasons for its consolidation present several nuances that pass by political, economic and moral issues. Although the United States is the main responsible by the militarized face of the prohibitionism, since the so called “war on drugs”, they are national laws that make this ideology a rare case of world consensus, with the exceptions that don´t escape to the resistances and the socio-historical correlations of each country. Among the researchers, the term drug comes to be used to denominate the substances able to act over the central nervous system. Among the researchers, this term possibly came from the dutch “droog”, which meant dry products. Anthropological studies have shown the value of the use of such substances during the history of the humanity, being used in curative, ritualistic and eating processes. Since the moment that the merchandise becomes the fundamental element from the capitalist mode of production, everything tends to become such as, thus this happened with the drugs that became to be part of their circuits. The reach of the prohibitionist policies comes to be constantly questioned because the enlargement of the trade of drugs has not been reciprocated to the central objectives. Nevertheless, these policies became as a volatile way to criminalize determined social groups and intensify the policies of penal control and of combating them. Beyond these state coercive forces, other phenomena intertwine to this issue, in order to know: the dispute by the command of the territories such as the commerce, passage and the circulation of drugs. It is in this point that it presents itself to the possible particularity of the northeast region of Brazil. It stands out that the fundamentals for this research came from the critics of the political economy. In terms of the strategies of investigation, bibliographic research was performed, whose objective was to synthesize the aspects related to the issue of drugs, to the place of the drugs and the possible particularities of the war against the drugs and the documental research, prioritizing the analysis of the Atlas da Violência e do Anuário Brasileiro de Segurança Pública in the years of 2017 to 2022. This choice had as a criterion the raise of the number of homicides in the northeast region, being these ones, in a large measure associated to the traffic of drugs. It is pointed preliminarily, for the existence of regional particularities in terms of the strategic geopolitical position; the disparities in terms of the social indicators and the perpetuated inequalities, that manifest themselves in multiplex expressions of the social issues; the police and punitive increment, besides the disputes by the commands of the commerce and the circulation of drugs. These disputes have become signaled as the fuse for the increase of the number of homicides in the region.
