    The problem here in Brazil, in addition to the prohibitionist law, is a political issue (I believe that many places go through the same situation). This issue has been going on since 2011 and is always postponed. A current example is habeas corpus to be able to plant, extract oil and consumption itself, it is a question that involves money, so many people from the lower class do not have the money to pay for a certain treatment. That is, the ban only hinders those who depend on its medicinal use, because those who want to smoke recreationally buy it easily. There are two questions: Cheap weed that you find in the favelas, but of low quality. And good weed that they call “flower” here in Brazil that only those who have a lot of money can buy.

    Bottom line: Although weed is illegal here, it’s easily accessible. The state only hinders those who need to use it as a medicine. People die for it, and they are poor people.
