Brazil's Superior Court of Justice allows medical home growing

The sixth panel of the Superior Court of Justice unanimously authorised three people to grow cannabis at home for therapeutic purposes. The decision became guidance for courts across the country and led to a large increase in court orders for domestic cultivation, though only for those able to go to court.[1]
