Marijuana Laws & Legislation for Catania

As of February 2025, Italy maintains a complex legal framework regarding cannabis use. Recreational cannabis remains illegal; however, possession of small amounts for personal use has been decriminalized since the 1990s, typically resulting in administrative penalties such as fines or suspension of personal documents. Unauthorized sale or cultivation of cannabis is a criminal offense, punishable by imprisonment.

In 2016, Italy legalized the cultivation of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) with a THC content below 0.2%, leading to the emergence of the “cannabis light” industry, which offers products with low THC levels. However, in late 2024, the government, under Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, proposed legislation to ban products derived from the hemp flower, citing public safety concerns. This move threatens the burgeoning “cannabis light” sector, which had reached an annual turnover of approximately €500 million.

Regarding cannabidiol (CBD) products, Italy’s regulations have been evolving. As of September 2023, the Ministry of Health classified orally administered CBD products as narcotic medicines, requiring them to be dispensed through pharmacies with a medical prescription. This reclassification has significant implications for the CBD market, affecting the availability and distribution of CBD oils and related products.

In the medical sphere, Italy legalized cannabis for therapeutic use in 2007. Patients with specific conditions, such as chronic pain or multiple sclerosis, can access medical cannabis through the national healthcare system, provided they have a valid prescription. The military pharmaceutical plant in Florence is authorized to cultivate cannabis for medical purposes to ensure a controlled supply for patients.
