The track free and arrived by the health ministers and defense which, however, wish to make clear that this is not a first step toward the legalization of soft drugs. The plant will be grown within the chemical plant military of Florence and the medicines may enter into trade already from 2015


Will the army to cultivate cannabis therapeutic for the production of drugs used in pain therapy and the first products may be for sale as early as 2015. The health minister, Beatrice Lorenzin, and Roberta Pinotti, minister of Defense, as he writes the daily La Stampa, gave the ok to the cultivation that will be managed by chemical plant military of Florence. A decision that definitively opens to national production and distribution of cannabinoid-based medicines for pain relief. This choice will also lead to considerable savings, since the medicine, up to today imported from abroad, have very high costs. The military establishment florentine who cultivate cannabis needed to produce the drugs was born for military purposes but, over the years, has started to work also for the civil sector. A choice, one of the Florence, commissioned by the ministers to check the product. The track free must not, however, to think of a first step toward an opening to the liberalization of soft drugs. The minister Lorenzin has always wanted to distinguish between "a secular approach and aseptic on theme and the usual speeches which lead to question liberalisation". The representative of Ncd has always fought against the legalization of soft drugs: "We are fighting so much - stated- for the fight against smoking, against the abuse of alcohol and then discuss if liberalise or less cannabis. That example we give to our children if anyone can sit quiet there smoking a spinel? ". The decision of Pinotti and Lorenzin casteth out also the doubts on the role played by the Minister of Health in the discussion on the theme of the production of cannabinoid-based medicines. The accusation of the former member of parliament of Ncd was to slow down the debate on the issue due to the resistances coming from the wing more conservative of his party. Now that the decision has been made, the medical use of cannabis may be for sale since 2015. The medicine will be used for pain therapy on cancer patients suffering from HIV or to treat the symptoms of serious illnesses such as multiple sclerosis, Sla and glaucoma.
