The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the argument that 87 grams of hashish constituted a minor quantity for sentencing purposes. The court established a daily consumption rate of 2 grams to determine that the total amount exceeded the threshold for minor quantity. Consequently, the court applied the statutory pardon provisions to reduce the sentence to 6.5 years imprisonment and 1 year and 1 month detention.
