Skip the vote, again. The Chamber of Deputies he postponed further the vote of the proposed law on home cultivation, which would legalize the self-production of 4 cannabis plants for personal use.
"A defeat for everyone - he comments Better Legal, the campaign for legalization, underlining that - The problem is not only the parties, but also those who still maintain that dealing with a war on drugs that hits kids and lets drug traffickers go free is not a priority"
And again Riccardo Magi, President of +Europa and first signatory of the cultivation law: "For our Parliament rights are never a priority. The war waged by the right and the lack of courage of the center-left parties have led to this sensational result. After years of discussions in the Commissions, after the mobilizations of civil society, the only thing we are told is: this is not the time. It matters little that the majority of Italians are clearly in favour, it matters little if Parliament can and must work on different measures at the same time and it matters little if there are forces in the Government that attack its stability for electoral propaganda reasons every day. Not for rights. there is no time"
Vote on cannabis postponed: demonstration in Montecitorio
Despite the bad news, the anti-prohibitionist associations are not giving up. In fact, today 13th July starting at 6pm, Better Legal he made an appointment in Montecitorio to tell the story victims of prohibitionism. People ignored by institutions, who have lost their freedom, their rights, their jobs and in some cases even their lives just for having consumed or grown cannabis.
"The goal? - underlines Magi - Ask for an extra week of work, so as to discuss the law on the domestic cultivation of cannabis before the summer break."
