Courts and Cannabis Sativa for Medical Purposes in BrazilThe Brazilian Superior Court of Justice – not the Federal Supreme Court – had recently decided that planting and transporting cannabis sativa aiming at extracting oil for medical ends shall not be treated as a crime. Nonetheless, there remains room for discussion on the use of cannabis sativa with medical objectives. Cannabis Sativa for Medical PurposesBefore discussing the cases of cannabis sativa usage for medical aims, a normative caveat must be made: The Anti-Drug Act is what criminal lawyers would describe as a blank norm for criminal regulation. In 2019, the Board Resolution 327 regulated the authorization by ANVISA for importing, manufacturing and trading products derived from cannabis for medical purposes. Thirdly, there has been a previous debate on legislative, administrative, and judicial bodies feeding the work of both superior courts in Brazil, the Federal Supreme Court and the Superior Court of Justice.
