Debate 🇧🇷 Brazil

A São Paulo university hosts a debate on decriminalising cannabis

About 350 people gathered at the University of São Paulo's philosophy faculty to discuss decriminalisation, with speakers including the deputy João Baptista Breda and the musician Jorge Mautner. The two invited opponents did not attend. França notes that the arguments heard there had circulated in the United States and Europe since the mid-1960s.[1]
