The state deputy says he is a stoner, in an interview with the online magazine Breeza and the podcast and videocast Saindo da Estufa, dedicated to topics related to cannabis.
He says he grows the herb at home and has plans to open a growing association for cannabis patients working with ex-prisoners.
“I don’t smoke cannabis, I smoke it. I’m not a cannabis fan, I’m a stoner. The plant is wonderful and criminalization in the history of our country has demonstrated its character”, he says in the interview.
Freitas was recently the target of criticism after meeting a man in the middle of the street in Curitiba. He says he fought back after being attacked.
The interview was given during the ExpoCannabis 2025 event, in November. In the conversation, he criticizes politicians who are afraid to deal with the issue of marijuana.
“You have to stop this mania of ‘I smoked, but I didn’t smoke, I smoked, but I didn’t inhale, I inhaled, but I didn’t smoke’. What’s the problem? Are you playing for the fans?”, he declares.
