Portugal’s top court upholds the personal-use quantity rules

The Constitutional Court upheld the 2023 rules that treat quantities above a ten-day supply as evidence for investigating purpose while keeping proven personal possession administrative. It explained that doubt favouring the accused must still operate when determining personal use. The ruling left the distinction between personal possession and supply in place.[1]
