Last Wednesday, June 27th, the Colombian Constitutional Tribunal decided that Estate do not have the right to criminalize individuals that possess a "minimal dosis" (1g of cocaine and 22g of marijuana) for proper use.
According to the tribunal, the user criminalization hurts human rights and the principle of bodies autonomy. However, the Court highlighted that the drug continues to be illegal and it should be seized and taken to destruction.
The Argentinian scenario is also encouraging, besides the absence of a regulamentation proposal for the cannabis market. From the eight changing projects on the drug laws, six of them are, with slight differences, in defense of user decriminalization.
The most interesting of them is a initiative of congressmen Diana Conti, from ala peronista Frente para a Vitória (Front to Victory) [the same from president Cristina Kirchner], Ricardo Gil Lavedra, leader of União Cívica Radical and Victoria Donda, from Frente Ampla Progressista. He determines that the quantity of the seized drug is not enough to blame someone of drug trafficking, being a State responsibility the presentation of evidences of an eventual illicit commerce. Without it, the traffic blaming won't have legal basis.
It's worth remembering that decriminalization which is already running there was conquered on Supreme Court in 2009. The argument used was the same of Colombian Court and will be the same to defend the process running in Brazilian STF.
