Cannabis light, opposition: “Tonight the government killed the sector”

“The Meloni government has just killed the light cannabis sector in our country”. This was written by the secretary of Più Europa, Riccardo Magi, on to the security bill which equates light cannabis to that with THC – he underlines – The Meloni government, in the grip of ideological fury, cancels an all-Italian supply chain, 11 thousand jobs. And they also think they have fought against drugs…”.

“Equating light cannabis to that with THC is a very serious mistake and the government tonight, this time under the cover of darkness, by approving an amendment to the security decree has decided to eliminate a production sector that employs thousands of people and invoices over 500 million per year ‘year”, says Stefano Vaccari of the Democratic Party for his part.

“The government’s propaganda madness has won, at least for now, as it thinks it is communicating an institutional commitment against drugs which, however, are something else compared to light cannabis with production potential in cosmetics, herbal medicine, food supplements and horticulture. A wrong choice that it affects a sector that involves many young people and which should have been helped and certainly not destroyed also because there are no health contraindications”, concludes the group leader in the Agriculture commission and secretary of the Chamber of Deputies.
