Pro-cannabis protesters demonstrated in&nbsp;Sao&nbsp;Paulo&nbsp;on Saturday (June 17) to demand the decriminalisation of the plant.

During the protest, attendees held signs defending the use of marijuana and smoked on the street.

Amongst the main demands was the de-stigmatisation of medicinal marijuana, said Angela Boin, member of Maesconhas - a word play with the words marijuana and mothers in Portuguese.

Currently, Brazil allows the sale and production of cannabis products, but companies must import the key ingredients.

Next year, the country’s Supreme Court of Justice (STJ) is expected to rule on whether companies and farmers can plant cannabis.
