Over at WION there’s also a report
The reform seeks to decriminalise growth of up to four female cannabis plants at home. The reform also seeks to increase punishment for trafficking and dealing cannabis. The punishment has been raised from up to six years to 10 years.
The reform was put forward by Italian PM Riccardo Magi. If the reform goes all the way through, it will make Italy one of first European countries to decriminalise domestic cultivation of Cannabis.
The reform has come two years after Italy’s supreme court ruled that small scale cultivation of cannabis was legal. The landmark ruling came in 2019.
