The annual report on drug addiction, drawn up by the Presidency of the Council and sent to Parliament, leaves no room for free interpretations. The government is in favor of decriminalization of cannabis.
The text highlights the need “to review the rules which provide for criminal and administrative sanctions against people who use drugs - How? - By removing certain illicit conduct from criminal action and at the same time reviewing the sanctioning system".
Report on drug addiction: prohibition has failed
You die more clearly than that - he underlines Antonella Soldo by Meglio Legale - The report filed in recent days represents an extraordinary document. For the first time the government, supported by the department on anti-drug policies, gives precise indications to Parliament: decriminalize the home cultivation."
"The directives arriving from the government - continues the coordinator of Meglio Legale - also surpass the only proposal on the table today: the one on home cultivation which is being discussed in the Chamber of Deputies. Honorable Parliamentarians there are no more excuses. It's time to go to vote."
The document underlines the urgency of amend Article 73 of the consolidated law on narcotics and, specifically, it is suggested to decriminalise, in addition to the cultivation of cannabis for domestic use, also the sale of modest quantities where there is no profit motive. The exclusion of compulsory nature was also proposed of arrest in flagrante delicto and the exclusion, in any case, of the provision ofmandatory arrest.
"The suggestions of the Report also go beyond our text - he reiterates Riccardo Magi, president of +Europa and promoter of proposed law on cannabis - We therefore wonder how the approval of the text could put the majority in difficulty. Indeed, given the indications sent by the government we could even ask for intervention by decree"
The Magi himself launched a signature collection in support of the self-production law of which he is the first signatory. "The debate in the Chamber will restart in the next few days moment of truth. Voters will finally be able to understand who uses this issue for propaganda and who seriously fights to change things."
