Brazil Has Made It No Longer A Crime For Adults To Have Cannabis For Personal Use
Brazilians over 18 can now possess 40 grams of weed or about 80 joints.
Brazil’s top court has decriminalized possessing cannabis for recreational use, making it one of the last Latin American countries to do so.
Under the ruling, which came on Wednesday, June 26, possessing small quantities of weed will no longer be considered a crime.
Brazilians over 18 can now possess 40 grams of weed or about 80 joints.
However, selling cannabis still remains a crime and consuming it in public is prohibited.
The court has not yet determined how to draw the line between dealers and users.
The country’s supreme court has been discussing decriminalizing cannabis since 2015.
