Legalize Cannabis for Treatment

No longer imports from the Netherlands, Italy launches domestic marijuana pilot project. Who produced it: the military. They produce it for medical purposes. With the legalization of cannabis for treatment, the Italian military is the only cannabis producer in this EU country. In June 2016 the first harvest was done.

In addition to maintaining the security of the country, the Italian military also assumed duties as a marijuana farmer. Through the marijuana project for treatment that began in 2007, the Italian government appointed its military in September 2014 to manage cannabis fields in Florence.

Italy allows the use of cannabis for treatment with a prescription. But until now, the supply of cannabis for Italy is still dependent on the Netherlands. The selling price of imported marijuana is 35 Euro or about 500 thousand Rupiah per gram.

Cigarettes remain a major cause of avoidable deaths in the United States. And while many smoke cigarettes for the nicotine, research has confirmed that it is not nicotine that’s harmful. Instead, it’s the combustion/burning of tobacco that makes smoking risky.

E-cigarettes, as well as other smokeless forms of tobacco, can fulfill smokers’ longing for nicotine at a lower risk. Available evidence indicates that e-cigs expose a smoker to fewer health risks than combustible tobacco does. Yet federal regulations are hampering e-cigarette’s potential of reducing kills for all its good intentions. And the elusive suggestion by state officials that electronic cigarettes pose the same danger …
