“…Cannabis is the most used illicit drug in Brazil . Recently, the Brazilian Senate initiated discussions on the regulation of cannabis in light of the growing decriminalisation support of the Brazilian population, including the ex‐president Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Brazil is also an important producer of cannabis, resulting in large increases in cannabis availability in the country .…”

Overall, our findings point to a strategic role of cannabis within drug first use sequence pattern. We had an important and unexpected finding-the bi-directional relationship between alcohol and cannabis. In addition, the first use of cannabis still precedes the first use of cocaine and non-medical use of tranquilisers and prescription opioids.

“…Since then, the LRCUG have been formally endorsed by nationally leading addictions and health agencies in Canada, including the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction, the Canadian Council of Chief Medical Officers of Health, the Canadian Medical Association, the Canadian Mental Health Association, the Canadian Pharmacists Association, the Canadian Public Health Association, the Canadian Society of Addiction Medicine, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and the Mental Health Commission of Canada. Furthermore, various practical “knowledge translation” products – for example, graphic-design posters for public display, brochures for users (including young people) and an evidence summary for health professionals – have since been developed, electronically and in hard copy, and distributed widely 55,56. In parallel, efforts towards international versions of the LRCUG have been developed.…”

Cannabis is the most commonly used illegal drug, and is associated with well-documented adverse health outcomes, both acute and chronic. Cannabis use prevalence in Brazil is lower than in high-use regions in the Americas (e.g., North America), but concentrated among young people. Frameworks for cannabis control are increasingly shifting towards public health-oriented principles, with some countries undertaking respective policy reforms. These frameworks require a continuum of population-level interventions (e.g., prevention and treatment) including targeted prevention of adverse health outcomes among users. In this context, and based on examples from other health fields, an international expert group developed the evidence-based Lower-Risk Cannabis Use Guidelines (LRCUG), originally for Canada, including a set of 10 recommendations based on systematic data reviews and expert consensus methods. The LRCUG form a scientific population-health prevention tool to reduce adverse public health impacts for broad application among cannabis users. In Canada, the LRCUG have been formally endorsed and are supported by leading national health organizations and government authorities within the continuum of cannabis interventions. As the LRCUG are being internationalized, this paper introduces the LRCUG’s concept and content – including their original recommendations translated into Portuguese – to the Brazilian context as an evidence-based population-level intervention tool for uptake, dissemination, and discussion. Sociocultural adaptation may be required for meaningful implementation.

“…Em segundo lugar, o argumento problematiza a interpretação de que haveria uma ausência de mudança na configuração do debate público, com a manutenção do que a pesquisa "Mídia e Drogas", realizada pela Agência de Notícias dos Direitos da Infância e 5 Cabe destacar que houve algumas propostas legislativas com viés antiproibicionista no período posterior ao estudado por Silva e Delduque (2015), com destaque para algumas iniciativas legislativas sobre a regulamentação da maconha, como é o caso do PL 7270/2014, PL 7187/2014 e do SUG 8 de 2014. A última é uma iniciativa popular que foi apresentada ao Senado Federal depois de passar pelo portal e-Cidadania (Kiepper;Esher, 2014;Kiepper, 2015). 6 Subjacente à argumentação desenvolvida neste artigo encontram-se pressupostos da sociologia dos problemas públicos (Lorenc Valcarce, 2005;Schillagi, 2011;Cefaï, 2017).…”

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar como se estrutura e se transforma o debate público sobre a política de drogas no Brasil entre os anos de 2003 e 2016. Para responder a essa problematização, foram analisados 306 materiais publicados no jornal Zero Hora. A análise demonstra que houve mudanças significativas na configuração do debate público sobre o "problema das drogas" no país na última década. Mais especificamente, é demonstrado que o debate público tende a ser mais heterogêneo, em termos de agentes e de enquadramentos, do que aquilo que se expressa na política de drogas vigente. Identificar e analisar essa heterogeneidade é importante para a compreensão das controvérsias e das posições em disputa sobre a política de drogas.
