Vapers, edible oils, intimate lubricants, and “dry” and “ice” hashish are some of the new forms of marijuana consumption, in addition to weed cigarettes rolled in tissue paper, which dominate the imagination when it comes to the marijuana plant. the Cannabis sativa family.
These formats have been popularized in Brazil since 2015, the year in which the Federal Supreme Court (STF) began the trial of Extraordinary Appeal 635659, which deals with the decriminalization of drug possession for personal use. The trial should resume this Thursday (17). Eight years after the first session of the case, four magistrates voted in favor of some form of decriminalization of drug use: Gilmar Mendes, Edson Fachin, Luís Roberto Barroso and Alexandre de Moraes.
Three of them limited their decisions to marijuana only. Barroso established possession of 25 grams of marijuana or six female plants as a provisional criterion to distinguish between dealers and users. Moraes expanded this criterion to 60 grams of marijuana or six female plants, but stressed that the amount will not be the only criterion to determine user status. The quantitative measure indicated by the magistrates refers to marijuana in its natural state, that is, its leaves and flowers, but does not apply to other consumption formats that are gaining momentum in the non-medical adult use market in Brazil, such as vapers, as well as new types of hashish.
