AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the criminal appeal because the appellant failed to provide the required legal motivation under Article 412(1) of the Criminal Procedure Code. The court further ruled that the specific statute cited by the appellant only prohibits the acquisition or illegal detention of narcotic substances, explicitly excluding their cultivation. Consequently, the appeal was rejected on both procedural grounds for lack of motivation and substantive grounds regarding the scope of the relevant drug control legislation.
