This article analyses the way in which the "drug problem" was constructed in Argentina from early 20th century to present day. Its objective is to account for the way laws have intertwined, in various political contexts, with certain institutions, their bureaucracies, norms, operational logics and daily practices. The reconstruction of these forms of state intervention is important to understand recent public policies and parliamentary debates, as well as current models of attention and the way in which laws are, nowadays, applied.
