VIDEO | Dealing of (light) cannabis branded Meloni: it is the Più Europa flash-mob

The party's protest is taking place in front of Palazzo Montecitorio: "Banning this substance will destroy 13 thousand jobs"

ROME – A small plastic sachet with the face of Giorgia Meloni on a black background, inside the ‘light’ cannabis. “More Europe” protests by distributing mini doses ‘branded’ with the prime minister’s face in Piazza Montecitorio. “The government’s latest madness – attacks the secretary Riccardo Magi during a flash mob in front of the Chamber – is to ban light cannabis, a substance that has no doping effect. It means sending 13 thousand up in smoke jobs, a sector with many young people that has developed in recent years”.

A government amendment to the security bill under consideration in the House commission proposes to intervene on the law to support the hemp supply chain for industrial use, with a quantity of THC lower than 0.2 %. L‘ amendment prohibits the cultivation and sale of inflorescences, including cannabis with low THC content, for uses other than those expressly indicated in the law itself. The trade or transfer of inflorescences is punished with the rules of the Consolidated Law on narcotic substances, equalizing light cannabis to non-light cannabis.

For Antonella Soldo, candidate for the European elections with United States of Europe in the North East constituency, the government’s action “is a farce that won’t go anywhere “. From a box he distributes the sachet with Meloni’s face: “Maybe you like it better this way, with this black graphic, to remember that even during fascism hemp was celebrated as an autarchic excellence. Maybe to our prime minister they like it better this way, the colors give it away and tomorrow the workers in the sector will be able to feel more relaxed”.
