Abstract

This article analyses the role of the Internet in general and Facebook in particular in the emergence and configuration of cannabis activists organized as Colombian Cannabis Community (CCC). The creation of profiles, groups and contacts on Facebook by the various activists constitute a constant communication space that strengthens the activist’s cannabis action as a whole. This space combines three central issues: 1) strengthens the organized confrontation of a situation of exclusion, 2) allows mutual knowledge and collective identification between activists of the cannabis movement and 3) enables the process of organization and collective action of cannabis users in Colombia.
