STJ authorizes planting of Cannabis 5 times larger than usual – 06/05/2023 – Cannabis Inc.

A decision of the last instance of the STJ (Supreme Court of Justice) granted an injunction for a patient in the interior of Paraná to cultivate 354 seedlings of cannabis, per annum. The authorization draws attention to the number of plants. It is five times greater than the total normally determined by the Court. “Usually, the judges grant the cultivation injunction based on case law, which determines the maximum planting of 64 seedlings”, says the lawyer in the case Murilo Meneguello Nicolau, specialized in medicinal cultivation actions.

He explains that the increase in the number of plants is due to the fact that the patient needs to use inhaled CBD. The manufacture of this form of product consumes more flowers than oil. “An agronomist did the calculation. It takes 10 grams of flowers to make 1 gram of CBD to be inhaled”, explains Nicolau.

The decision was given last week. The patient suffers from generalized anxiety, which causes severe stomach pains and panic attacks. The inhaled product has a faster action than oil. The decision of the STJ surprised even the lawyer. “I had doubts whether we would be able to obtain the injunction precisely because of the high number of flowers”.
