Page scope
Laberintos de prohibición y regulación (2021) covers the 2021 Dejusticia study of Colombia's marijuana markets by Luis Felipe Cruz Olivera and Isabel Pereira Arana: its authors, how the research was done, its argument, what it says about cannabis history and the northern Cauca crop, and its contents. The growing area is treated in Northern Cauca and its appellations; the cuttings-grown marijuana in Creepy (cannabis).

Sources
- The book. The article rests on the open-access edition: its credits page, acknowledgments, introduction, chapters 2 and 3, the note on the authors and the contents. Interviewees appear under the changed names the authors gave them.
Where the sources disagree
- When marijuana reached northern Cauca. The two accounts in chapter 2 (a seed dealer in Toribío, interviewed in 2018, and the governor of the López Adentro reserve, interviewed by the journalist Sebastián Serrano in 2017) both place it around 1980. Other sources put it earlier. Anthony Henman's Mama coca cites a Brazilian newspaper report of August 1975 on a plantation of 1,530 hectares around Corinto, and Lina Britto quotes a Riohacha journalist who recalled that the first loads shipped from the Guajira were said to come from Corinto. The same chapter's statement that ointments made from marijuana were known in the south-west before 1970 also points earlier.
- Therapeutic use and colonial hemp. The link the authors draw between Indigenous therapeutic use in Cauca and the colonial cultivation of hemp is their own speculation, which they present as such; the article gives it as theirs.
- The decline of the native varieties. The statement that the native varieties almost died out because their pollen spoiled the creepy crops comes from one grower interviewed in Toribío.
