CONAD Resolution No. 1 on ayahuasca religious use

Record summary

Brazil’s National Anti-Drug Council issued Resolution No. 1 in 2010, reaffirming a regulatory framework for religious use of ayahuasca and describing conditions concerning ritual practice, organization, safeguarding, and diversion. The measure is a useful comparison point for Santo Daime, União do Vegetal, and other Brazilian ayahuasca communities because it shows how a state translates sacramental, spiritual, and public-health claims into administrative rules. Its legal meaning and implementation should be read alongside earlier rulings and later judicial or administrative developments rather than treated as blanket authorization for every ayahuasca practice.
