Cannabis in Italy -The Legal View

The Italian cannabis law is a fair but technically complex one. Possesing cannabis in Italy is an illegal action whereas using cannabis is not. Sounds weird right? Visitors and travellers from abroad need to read on the laws before thinking about buying weed in Italy.

POSSESSION: 

The Italian drug law classes cannabis as a less dangerous substance compared to the likes of heroin or cocaine. This means if an individual is in possession of a small amount of weed they are breaking the law but it often gets treated as a misdemeanour. The result is, you won’t be heading to jail but you risk losing your driving license for up to 3 months. Sometimes a formal warning to refrain from the use or possession of cannabis is issued to first time offenders.

GROWING AND SALE: 

It’s illegal to grow, sell or supply cannabis in Italy. When caught, perpetrators face punishment in the form of a prison sentence of up to six years. Sometimes this can be reduced to four years if it’s considered a minor offence. Sentences are passed by the legal system based on facts like the offender’s reason for growing and selling, method of sale and their character and conduct.

MEDICAL CANNABIS:

Medical cannabis has been legal in Italy since 2007. This came through after the Italian government recognised and acknowledge that the THC contents of cannabis offer strong therapeutic benefits to a variety of medical conditions. Since then its demand has soared and the Italian military who are the sole organization legally growing medical cannabis in Italy are running short of supply.

CONCLUSION: 

Due to the lenient laws, cannabis is widely available in Italy. There are shops that sell non-THC content weed ( CBD ) usually not for consumption but as a collectors item. However, if you are in search of THC cannabis extreme caution and discretion should be taken so you don’t end up on the wrong side of the law.
