The Court of Cassation approved the use and sale of light cannabis

A sentence of the sixth criminal section of the Court of Cassation, of 31 January 2019, finally clarifies the question concerning cannabis light. All products on the market with a THC concentration within the limits of the law, that is, with less than 0.6%, are legal. The sentence was necessary after an indictment against a grower who had been seized an entire plantation. A few years ago, the law prohibited the cultivation of cannabis. According to the law of three years ago, when the THC is less than 0.6%, there are no problems, because it falls within the terms of the law. The Court of Macerata therefore had to release form seizure and cancel the condemnation against the grower who had sold cannabis inflorescences with a quantity of THC of 0.2%, lower than the limit. In fact, few people know that cultivating cannabis is currently no longer considered a crime if simple rules, dictated by the current law, are followed.

Cultivation requirements for Cannabis sativa

– THC index not exceeding 0.6%, – keep all documents that confirm the origin of the seeds, – the grower must be able to show all the purchase invoices of the seeds and demonstrate that the quantity of the bought and the cultivated seedlings coincide. If the quantity of the plantation is greater, he could then be denounced. According to what the Court of Cassation sentence said, it should have been obvious that a person can grow cannabis if respects the regulations. However, the undefined point was another: the problem did not find a solution because the Court of Macerata wanted to condemn the grower because he had advertised the sale on social media. The Court of Cassation sentence, besides clarifying the issue, also gave a logically sensible answer. If you authorize free cultivation and give the opportunity to trade it, it also becomes obvious that you can advertise it. It is important to remember that this step towards the legalization of cannabis was made in order to help people who might need this active ingredient for their health. We think of all the patients who could use its neurotransmitter effects, or who could use it to calm anxiety and insomnia. If the active ingredient does not exceed 0.6%, it has no psychotropic effect and cannot cause damage.

CBD marketing

There are many products on the market with a high content of CBD and THC within the limits allowed by law: from drinks to biscuits or herbal teas. However, it was not clear yet how the sale worked. For the Court of Cassation any cultivation that respects the laws and can prove it with the regular documentation is legal. In the event that the documents are not clear or when you are not sure of the origin of the seeds, then it is possible to implement a preventive seizure until the investigations are completed.

A conclusion has been reached

The use of the products with a Thc lower than 0.6% is completely legal, you can also use the dried buds for personal use without having to make particular declarations. From 31 January 2019, there is also a sentence of the Court of Cassation to which to appeal in case you find yourself involved in similar situations. There are few rules to follow for the use, consumption and cultivation of cannabis that has been named light, which has all the therapeutic advantages of the original one but not the percentage of active ingredient that would make it hallucinogenic.
