The cannabis returns to Parliament. The popular law, presented at the end of 2023 by Meglio Legale, has reached 50 thousand signatures necessary.
It was the campaign for legalization that announced it on social media last April 20th. "We had 6 months to collect signatures and we achieved them", he declared Antonella Soldo, coordinator of the Association.
It is no coincidence that the news was given 4.20am (or April 20), the international marijuana festival. But let's keep our enthusiasm at bay. This was only the first step of a long journey.
Let's review quickly what effects would have the law, if passed, and what is the next step to take.
50 thousand signatures for cannabis: what the law requires
Legalize theself-production and growers' associations, better known as Cannabis Social Clubs. Allow possession (up to 30 grams) and personal consumption. In addition to abolishing the administrative sanctions provided for, such as the withdrawal of driving license and passport.
It would be a breath of fresh air for cannabis consumers, who today, however, especially with the possible approval of new zero tolerance road code of Salvini, risk having their license revoked just for a positive drug test.

Cannabis returns to Parliament
How explained by Antonella Soldo to DolceVita, although 50 thousand signatures have been reached, the invitation is to continue signing.
"We have to collect one safety quota - highlights Soldo - because statistically 5% of these signatures will be discarded for various bureaucratic reasons".
Signatures which will then be deposited in the Senate, where it is in force the obligation to discuss. "We want to demonstrate that that signature was not made in the sand, but will have the precise effect of forcing senators to examine the text. It will be an opportunity for us to draw attention to the changes important events that are happening in Europe".
In particular, Soldo refers to Germany, among the most important world economies, where last April 1st The legalization of cannabis has officially started.
