After more than two years, the bill that would legalize theself-production of cannabis up to four plants have arrived in the Chamber of Deputies, ready to begin the actual parliamentary process. But how it goes the debate?
Let us remember that it would not be a complete legalization of marijuana, but a provision that, despite this, would change the history of our country. It would give a voice to the over 6 million consumers that cover our peninsula and would take away a market share from organized crime.
In particular, the law provides, in addition to allowing cultivation for personal use, the reduction penalties for minor crimes e elimination of administrative sanctions for the possession of cannabis for personal consumption.
Self-production of cannabis: vote postponed but it's not a drama
After landing in the Chamber, “For the first time in this legislature - comments Meglio Legale - Parliament discussed the legalization of self-production for about three hours".
“The vote in the Chamber was postponed see you next week, but it's not a drama - observes Antonella Soldo - the important thing is to keep your attention high." And again, “By postponing to July this provision could also benefit from a accelerated procedure so obstructionism will be even more difficult."
In conclusion, the discussion will resume next week and, by mid-July, it should be reached final vote. In these first hours of debate we witnessed the intervention of various groups and parties who lined up in support of their ideas.
Among these Riccardo Magi, president of Più Europa and first signatory of the law, voice of the people and beyond 630 thousand signatories of Cannabis referendum, on the opposite side we find Meloni and Fratelli d'Italia who instead defined the two measures as "ideological and out of this world".
Hoaxes about cannabis abound in the Chamber
"On Wednesday in the Chamber during the debate our ears bled listening to the most classic and ancient ones fake news about cannabis,” he begins Better Legal who promptly undertook to dismantle them one after the other.
Marijuana is a gateway drug
False. Saying that: "Cannabis leads to the use of hard drugs" is one totally wrong theory, indeed. It's exactly the opposite.
Marijuana, in states where it is legal, is very supportive to go out from other addictions that are clearly more harmful.
Genetically modified cannabis
Nothing to add. Such a statement disproves itself. Simply genetically modified cannabis it doesn't exist and 50% THC is a level impossible to achieve.
Cannabis is more dangerous than alcohol and tobacco
Our politicians are really like that uninformed on the topic of cannabis and, if necessary, before making accusations of this caliber they should study better to avoid losing further credibility.
Marijuana he never killed none in the history of humanity. Contrary to the many legal substances, including alcohol, tobacco and our dear friends drugs which, under the monopoly of the State, silently reap millions of victims the year.
