Brazil To Decriminalize Drug
Use On November 24
President Lula To Sign Drug Decriminalization Decree
From Alberto M. Giordano
narconews@hotmail.com
11-17-4
Weeks after some punishing setbacks for the government of Brazilian President Lula da Silva, with his Worker's Party losing three of the flagship cities in the world for Harm Reduction policies toward drug users (S?o Paulo, Porto Alegre, and Curitiba), the Lula administration has finally decided to make the groundbreaking local policies go national.
According to a report in today's Folha de S?o Paulo (subscription only), Lula's government of has reached a "consensus" to step forward into a bold new era of drug policy: decriminalizing the drug user nationwide, and opening 250 safe drug use centers across the country during the year 2005.
Lula is expected to sign an executive decree on November 24, taking drug enforcement responsibilities away from police agencies, and placing the problems of drug use under the jurisdiction of the Health Ministry, which will be charged with supporting the safe drug-use centers and make Harm Reduction - a policy to reduce the harms associated with drug use - the law of the land.
Here is an excerpt from today's report from Brazil's largest daily newspaper:
"Policy proposal considers drug consumption as a public health problem, and no longer one for the police. The government wants to create centers for drug use."
"By Luciana Constantino and Luri Dantas Folha de S?o Paulo - Bras?lia Bureau
"After a series of internal disagreements about drug policy, the federal government is preparing a realignment of national policy to define drug consumption as a public health problem, and not one for the police as it is today.
"There will be a presidential order creating rules for treating drug dependents, with emphasis on Harm Reduction..."

Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

today is the great day. many have been waiting. many are still in the shadow of ignorance in Brazil.
if it follows, it shall be greatly comemorated by all Brazilian stoners.
the dealers even have set a 'drug drought' in a sort of protest...
i find it a great evolution by part of a 'developing' country to adopt this rather european model, in the counterhand of the American model, but i also find it a bit foolish at the same time (it could only have been Lula, the drunkard)...
i am foreseing an explosion in violence, specially in Rio, because if it goes like Lula wants, the dealers will have to find another source of income...
(oh i forgot. the cops will stay furious without their bribe).
DECRIMINALIZE! LEGALIZE IT ALL LULA!

Ah, anyways...
We'll know only tomorrow when the official publication comes out... (If...?)...

Er, sorry about the poor joke, it was meant to be an internal joke to Josh (whose afraid of driving his car into Brazil!)...
Anyways, just an update.
It's a melting morning and nothing has changed. The gov't site went down, probably out of so many queries.
The only thing that is for sure is that the project is to be implemented for the next year but anyways, it should already be signed...
I hope the dark forces do not to spoil the whole thing...
If anyone knows of anything I don't...!

Brazil will probably follow a system similar to the portuguese, which is also based on drug-decriminalization. Portugal also has the Health Ministry as regulatory mechanism and drug addiction is seen as an health problem, not criminal.
I'm very happy for Brazil, my friends at Santos must be celebrating if this is true. I don't know, i can't find any related article in portuguese, but i did find some articles in english. I say it's weird.
Anyway, let's hope for the best guys

i have been watching the senate channel on TV...
i didn't catch it from the very beginning but it seems a certain senator has entered with a measure in order to suspend the decriminalization by a number of reasons (mosty foolish reasons, a senator representing the interests of $influent$ people)...
the $influent$ people are pulling the strings the way they can, i hope MAIA is right! Portugal and Spain are wonderful examples (which are never mentioned, i wonder why)...

More news. It looks like it's for real !
Google rough translation
Quote:
legal Drug
Following with the legal subject, this week a law project received the approval of the House of Representatives that decriminalizes the drug consumption and increases the pains for the dealers. According to the initiative, true legal and sanitary vanguard in the region, the drug user no longer imprisoned and will not either be forced to be put under treatment some of rehabilitation.
Solidly argued, the project it proposes that a young person to whom has been him a small amount of drug attends a dissertation initially on the risks of the dependency and not that directly is locked up in a prison, where will be able, without doubts, to initiate a true criminal career.
The other advance is the aim of compulsive treatments for the employees. He is almost unanimous between professionals of the mental health the opinion of which everything and any treatment is useless --y, therefore, a loss of time and resources -- if it does not count on the approval of the patient.
It is waited now that the Senate reviews the text and approves it so that begins to prevail in all the national territory, an approval that, like editorializa the newspaper Folha de S?o Paulo in its edition of this Friday, can be with a much more prosaic reality. "an approved law antitoxic in 2001 also would bring advances, but so badly it was written up and it contained so many errors that the Executive had to veto 35 of 59 articles", the influential newspaper remembers. And it finalizes: "one hopes that this time history is different". (APF)

"in times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings - artists, scientists, clowns, and philosophers - to create order. In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption"

I've had real good luck meeting hot Brazilian women. Rachel Machado....what a hot sexy babe, if only I hadn't been prude. Ohh and Sandra...the way she looked with her blue eyes, brown hair...and firm body. I wasn't prude when I met her, she must have feared my American manhood.

Nope,but I wish though...
The project will decriminalize the drugs but not legalize it. For instace, the drug use will be legally considered as a health issue not a police issue, the user won?t go to jail, be harrased, pay lawyers nor have the chance to corrupt the policemen. ( yeah, corruption is like a cancer metastasis in this country, well it is every where isn?t it ?  ). Though the jail time for the drug dealer will be increased from 3 to 15 years.
I don?t really know the whole project but it?s something along those lines.

i have heard from the media that there was already a lot of business crap being registered (like a 'bob' brand, meant for INDUSTRIAL JANE JOINTS)...
someone's got to grow the shit...
but again, when i remember of the senate... and all the corruption cancer crap which consumes the brazilian worker in taxes...
i really wonder if there will be an actual change without legalization. otherwise there will still be traffic, with small 'soldiers' going down every day so that the real business owner will always live safely on his rich life which costs the health of users, dealers, policemen and often even innocents...

hmmmm, maybe the DEA can send some of their special ops from defoliating columbia over & ummmmm "help re-establish democracy in brazil" or something that will sell on america's news programs...
(heh, brazil solved their problem with ayahuasca by having government officials visit the churches & participate in aya sessions --- no problemo, senhor...)
(& with regards to brazil - what is gonna happen to extant UN treaties as regards all those nasty dangerous drugs? --- treaties that the usa bullied everybody into signing back in the 40s & 50s...)

wise words gnmr23!
i remember reading a link (too bad i didn't bookmark it to link here), on a DEA big head stating that their efforts in colombian coca plantations didn't reduce the cocaine consume in US (the consume actually increased)...
indeed, it's all a huge theater for the masses. anyone who has a bit of culture knows that coca plantations isn't something that only exists in south america. it is a pity that the average american takes the TV so seriously, but what can we expect from the masses? nothing too clever IMO. from any masses from anywhere in this planet.
lol, 're-estabilish democracy' is a very good term, made in america, now availiable to YOUR poor country! =D
regarding the ayahuasca subject, it is funny how 'smart' the politicians are. a dumb ass politician has actually managed to make it forbidden for a little while in this new government. i only came to know about it when it got legal again. haven't even heard of it's prohibition. the fucker must have read 'ayahuasca=hallucinogen' somewhere and wanted to make a good guy pose, protecting us from that harm. pffft.
evolution... means the end of their 'good' business.

Holland -- Weed coffeeshops and mushrooms in the smart-shop, ayahuasca church Santo Daime legalized, user quantity of drugs = no crime
Germany -- Reluctant acceptance of pot
United Kingdom -- Shrooms sales points, cannabis legalisation discussed
Russia -- large user quantities of all drugs allowed
Brazil -- ayahuasca churches, decriminalization of drugs underway
These are the UNITED STATES OF PEACE
--------------------------------------------------------------
USA -- pesticide spraying and economic sanctions and all-out warmongering against nations that resist US drug policy, War on Drugs, Patriot Act, Mandatory Minimum sentences, the DEA paramilitary army, Marijuana considered as bad as rape
The UNITED STATES OF WAR

I wish the US would follow some of the policies they have in countries in Europe. I think that if the government relaxed drup laws the crime rate would drop some.

Make drugs legal, or alcohol and tobacco illegal. Either way it's more fair.

the drugs were not decriminalized, but no more jail nor bail for users, as for the dealers it's going to be a bit harder on them.
although a small leap, it's in the right direction...

Brazilians Reject Marijuana Legalization [Re: gema]

Many adults in Brazil believe cannabis should remain illegal, according to a poll by Datafolha published in Folha de Sao Paulo. 79 per cent of respondents think smoking marijuana should remain a crime.
According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime’s (UNODC) annual World Drug Report, marijuana remains the most widely consumed drug in the planet.
A 2001 UNODC report stated that one per cent of Brazilians between the ages of 12 and 64 consumes marijuana at least once a year. In 2004, the percentage of marijuana users between the ages of 10 and 18 years in the South American country fell to 6.4 per cent, from a high of 7.6 per cent in 1997.
In June 2005, Brazilian culture minister Gilberto Gil revealed that he smoked marijuana for years, adding, "I believe that drugs should be treated like pharmaceuticals, legalized, although under the same regulations and monitoring as medicines."

Hi ANTS,
this law has been approved on August 23rd, and is only going to be effective on October 8th,
that's when you will probably be getting more press about it.
