On June 27, 2024, Brazil's Supreme Court decided to decriminalize cannabis, allowing citizens to legally possess up to 40 grams of cannabis without facing criminal penalties. This makes Brazil, with a population of 203 million, the largest country globally to take such a measure and indicates increasing acceptance of cannabis in the country. The ruling will go into effect in a few days and last for 18 months, with further details to be determined by the country's parliament and health authorities. The sale of cannabis, however, remains a criminal offense. Brazil joins over 20 countries globally that have decriminalized or legalized cannabis for recreational use, primarily in Europe and the Americas.
