Questão jurídica principal
Whether the conviction and sentence should be set aside because cannabis use was claimed to be necessary self-medication for pain.
Decisão extraída
No. The argument did not justify the resale of drugs to third parties and did not warrant an acquittal or a meaningful sentence reduction.
Fundamentação extraída
Even if the medical use of cannabis may be understandable, the accused knowingly violated the law. Offences that harm others cannot be justified by the offender's needs.
