Medical support
Home cultivation in Brazil: the physician's role
Patients in Brazil who depend on continuous medical cannabis treatment can ask the courts for authorization to grow their own plants, strictly for therapeutic use. That legal route is the preventive habeas corpus — and it requires solid medical documentation.
How it works, in short
The preventive habeas corpus for cultivation is a court action, led by a lawyer, in which the patient demonstrates the therapeutic need to grow cannabis for their own treatment — usually due to the high cost and difficulty of continuous access to regulated products.
The decision always belongs to the courts, case by case. Medicine's role is to document the clinical indication rigorously: without a consistent medical report and prescription, no petition stands.
What the medical support includes
- A complete consultation to assess whether there is a genuine clinical indication for continuous medical cannabis treatment
- A detailed medical report: diagnosis, treatments already tried, justification of route and dosage
- A detailed prescription (concentrations, daily dose and form of use) that grounds the size of the requested cultivation
- Follow-up consultations and periodic reports — an active doctor-patient relationship is one of the things courts value most
- Dialogue with the patient's lawyer to align the documentation with the case
Important to know
- We do not provide legal services: the case is led by a lawyer you trust. The medical role is clinical and documental.
- There is no guarantee of a favourable ruling — every case is decided individually by the courts.
- The medical report follows from the clinical assessment: it is issued when there is a genuine medical indication, never as an automatic document.
- Growing without judicial authorization remains a crime in Brazil. This support exists precisely to give legal safety to those who need the treatment.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a lawyer before booking?
No. Many patients start with the medical assessment, which clarifies whether there is a clinical indication. Finding a lawyer can come next — and the medical documentation is prepared to support the case.
How long until the court decides?
Timing belongs to the judicial process and varies by court and case. On the medical side, what we guarantee is the quality and currency of your documentation throughout.
I already grow on my own. Can I book a consultation?
Yes — the consultation is a protected, judgement-free space. The whole point of this support is to regularize your situation with clinical and legal safety.
