Defensa afirmativa por posesión legal de pseudoefedrina

Explicación Simple

Si te acusan de tener pseudoefedrina de manera ilegal, puedes defenderte si la compraste legalmente y tienes menos de seis gramos. También necesitas demostrar que la usas como medicina o en casa, no para hacer algo malo.

Es como cuando guardas una herramienta en tu garaje: si la usas para arreglar cosas en casa, no hay problema. Pero si la usas para hacer algo ilegal, entonces sí hay un problema.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina a Carlos, que compró un paquete de medicamentos para el resfriado que contiene pseudoefedrina. Si la policía lo encuentra con solo tres gramos y puede mostrar el recibo de compra y que la usa para su resfriado, puede defenderse de la acusación de posesión ilegal.
