A visitor takes a selfie picture with a person in a costume of a cola of a cannabis plant during the Cannabis Expo Brazil, a hemp and cannabis industry exhibition, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on September 15, 2023. AFPPIX: Bubbling with euphoria as thick as the haze in the air, marijuana enthusiasts flocked this weekend to Brazil’s first “ExpoCannabis,“ amid a national debate over decriminalizing the drug for personal use.
“We want to show the public all the plant’s capabilities. We’re not just talking about the pharmaceutical industry. The plant can also work in the food and beverage industry, the construction industry, the textile industry and biofuels,“ organizer Larissa Uchida told AFP. Those smoking it at the fair likely purchased it illegally, but authorities appeared willing to turn a blind eye.
Brazil's Supreme Court is currently hearing a case that could decriminalize small-scale possession and use of cannabis and certain other drugs in the nation of 203 million people. However, in a sign of how controversial the subject remains, Senate president Rodrigo Pacheco announced plans Thursday to introduce legislation to amend the constitution to explicitly make the possession of any amount of cannabis a crime.“I think it’s very important to have the first edition in Brazil right now,“ Sao Paulo state legislator Caio Franca told AFP at the fair.
