The object of reflection and analysis of this paper is drug trafficking in Mexico. From the semiotics of culture proposed by I. Lotman and the structural semiotics started by A. J. Greimas, we consider drug trafficking as a practice that obeys its own rules and has a meaning governed by certain codes and norms, as well as a specific system of values. This practice refers to a form of life (which includes signs, expressions, texts, meanings); a substructure opposed but related to a semiosphere that is the contemporary Mexican culture. From these integrating levels, we approach the religious dimension –which has an ambiguous and sometimes frankly marginal character– within drug trafficking.
