In Italy, a man has been acquitted despite growing marijuana at home, because it was for personal use and not for dealing.

The parliamentary intergroup for the legalization of cannabis has developed the cornerstones of the draft law to be presented to the rooms: the right to self, cannabis social club on the Spanish model, and state monopoly with regard to sales. Some details may change in future meetings, but the general structure of the bill will be this.

Objective Intergroup (which exceeded 150 accessions between MPs and senators of various opinions) to turn the draft into a real bill as soon as possible and look for the scheduling for the parliamentary debate before the summer.

RIGHT TO SELF

A drug dealer whose marijuana seedlings were found to be wilted can’t be convicted of trafficking.

This is according to Italy’s Court of Cassation, which recently upheld the appeal by a man who was convicted by first and second grade courts for the offence of growing, trafficking and possession of illicit drugs. The high court judges, however, pointed out that the bad vegetative state of the four plants found on the accused’s balcony meant that the police could not verify “the effective offensiveness of the actual alleged cultivation.”

Celiac disease can be devastating to those who suffer from it, but evidence suggests that there is a natural plant treatment that can mitigate or even cure the ailment: cannabis.

People who have celiac suffer from autoimmune attacks on their small intestine after eating glucose, which can lead to pain and an inability to absorb nutrients, as well as diabetes, multiple sclerosis and cancer over the long term.

Gluten is ubiquitous in the Western diet and people who take pains to avoid eating it are still likely to consume some by accident on occasion, and even in small amounts gluten can lead to extremely painful and embarrassing episodes. Fortunately, marijuana may be able to help.

Here is the production of medicinal cannabis "made in Italy" . In recent years in many countries around the world, from France to Germany to the United States, laws have been pledged to decriminalize its use for medical purposes.

Starting May 29 the new traffic controls drug saliva test in 19 sample cities.

About 60% of inmates in Italian prisons use drugs, 33% of cannabis, 40% cocaine and about 5% of amphetamines.

The figure emerged during the XVI National Congress of the Italian Society of Medicine and Health Penitentiary which was held in Cagliari, addressing the theme "If the patient is also held".

Inmates who show a lower consumption of drugs are in Slovenia, Romania and Croatia.

Considering that up until about 85 years ago, cannabis oil was used around the world to treat a variety of diseases, including cancer, it is not surprising that the phasing out of cannabis to treat illness coincided with the rise of pharmaceutical companies.

Rick Simpson, a medical marijuana activist, is on a crusade to help others heal. He regards cannabis as the most medicinally active plant on the face of the earth, and shared this apparent miracle with others — completely free of charge. He now has thousands of testimonials from those who were healed from ‘incurable’ disease to back up his claims ~ that cannabis annihilates cancer.

While patient organizations continue to report difficulties in getting drugs based on cannabis and the problems that the implementing regulations are giving in the federal application, the President of Tuscany Enrico Rossi calls for expanded use of cannabis for other diseases, in addition to those required by law.
