Drugs: one weight, two measurements
​​​​​​​Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF) plans to discuss decriminalization for personal use. In Brazil, the law does not stipulate quantities to distinguish consumers from those who traffic, which generates disproportionate penalties.

▪ WIP 
To discuss disproportionate penalties, we produce images based on a concept named "tipping point": also know as middle ground or "gray zone," basically is the amount of drug in which the person has an equal chance of being classified as a user or dealer. So the story opener turns into a real life infographic more than a just photograph! We went further in the following photos comparing the drug's mass in grams with things that we consume almost everyday such as like mints, candy, and salt sachets.
