Easing 🇧🇷 Brazil

Brazil begins to soften its treatment of drug users

Law 9,099 relaxed the penalties for consuming drugs, and Law 9,714 of 1998 went further towards taking prison out of the picture for users. The 1976 law that made use a crime stayed in force until 2006.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Brazil here.
