Criminal Law Process

Even though there are laws against using and dealing drugs, they’re not strictly enforced in Italy.

Medical cannabis imported from Netherlands is legally sold at certain pharmacies.

Cultivation of cannabis is also illegal, and penalties for cultivation are similar to trafficking.

Currently, traffic or sale of cannabis can lead to a prison sentence of 2-6 years or a fine of 75,000 euros in Italy.
