It's worth to remind, in the current Brazilian legislation, is not a crime. There was a new drugs law in 2006, that was aiming exactly on "decriminalization", somewhat similar to what Portugal did a few years ago back then. It's considered only a misdemeanor to use drugs in Brazil. The thing is, in the law, it never says how much of a drug is a crime or not. So you can already guess what end up happening. The law in 2006 was so open, that what happened, was an increase of people arrested, and not a decrease. So in my opinion, this is a complete valid from Supreme Court, because there is a legal problem with how the lower courts are judging here. The decision from Supreme Court is actually because of a man that was convicted in São Paulo Court, with 3 grams (!). Fun fact: The 2006 law doesn't even mention which drug is a drug. It says that Anvisa (Brazil FDA) is that classify that. So if a President really want to make it LEGAL, they could just nominate liberal names on Anvisa, and suddenly, Anvisa could classify weed and other drugs as non-dangerous, and it would be legal to even sell it... Another fun fact: in 2000, by mistake, ANVISA removed a poppers drug (Chloroethane) from the drugs that was banned.... So for a few weeks, it was completely legal Chloroethane. And a guy end up being released from prison because of this!
