Psychiatric Reform, War on Drugs, ColonialityAbstract
This study presents theoretical perspectives that aim to weave an epistemological encounter between the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform, mental health policies, alcohol and other drugs and decolonial thinking. This incursion is due to the presence of the authors in the field of research and academic studies on the war on drugs, from an understanding that passes through Afrodiasporic thought and understands as a problem, the effects of coloniality in the modes of subjectivation and effectiveness of public policies in the modern-colonial State. The objective of this article is to compose an action-reflection on the issue of drugs in Brazil, denouncing the continuity of the genocide of the black population, the result of colonial logic. For this, literature reviews were carried out in order to propose an epistemic turn in the field of drug policies, understanding the inseparability between colonial violence and its effects on the lives of subjects who access mental health services due to substance abuse.
