The use of cannabis for medical purposes has been legal in Italy since 2013, with the cannabis generally paid for by the patient. Cannabis is dispensed as a medicine by authorized pharmacies, which obtain their supplies from or to the Italian army or by imports from authorized producers.

Self-cultivation remains illegal and punishable by prison. In practice, however, it is widely accepted, especially in southern Italy, and particularly when used for medical purposes. Last December, the Italian Supreme Court, for example, cleared a self-grower who produced for his own use.
Possession of cannabis is decriminalized in Italy, but still punishable by a fine and suspension of your driving license.
Last year, the cannabis light has almost been regulated, The bill is a step in this direction having been rejected by the Italian Senate at the last minute.
