In a significant decision, Brazil's Supreme Court has decriminalized personal marijuana possession, marking a major shift in the country's drug policy. The court ruled 8-3 in favor of decriminalization, distinguishing between regular users and drug traffickers and aiming to reduce penalties associated with marijuana possession. This decision does not legalize marijuana but lessens the sanctions related to possession. The next step will be determining the quantity of marijuana considered for 'personal use,' as the law currently lacks specific thresholds. Advocates see this move as a step towards non-criminalization in Brazil, while conservative opposition to drug law reforms remains strong.
