Arrives marijuana State: will be produced by the Army
Green light to the cultivation of cannabis for therapeutic use The choice fell on the factory for chemical weapons in Florence.
Crops controlled by the state will allow to check the products and lower prices of medicines
The state will produce marijuana for therapeutic use. For a paradox of history, to produce it will be the Italian army: will be cultivated from a chemical military Florence. The origins date back to the pharmaceutical institute 1853, when in Turin was set up a deposit of Pharmacy Military.
Today the plant Florentine, created with the aim of producing medicines for the military, has extended its activity to civil. And now produce drugs derived from cannabis currently imported from abroad at high cost. The green light was given by the Defence Ministers of Health and Roberta Pinotti and Beatrice Lorenzin, after several controversies and delays. The news will be made official by September.
Pinotti (Pd) had long since given its ok. Lorenzin (Ncd) was more cautious, not only for a cultural approach different: especially because the issues that his ministry faces are different and very delicate from the technical point of view. Had been set up a working group where the issue was discussed with the institute pharmaceutical military. Now, explain to the ministry of Health, are in the process of drafting the implementing protocols. At this point, it is possible that within the 2015 cannabinoid drugs will already be available in pharmacies Italian.
Yet this conclusion did not seem so peaceful: it was feared to be a part of the majority that would open the doors to the liberalization of soft drugs. But clarified that this is not the case, the deal is off. Minister Lorenzin has always said that "from the point of view of pharmacological, there are problems with the therapeutic use of cannabis: no one doubts the benefits, but should be treated as a drug ". In conclusion, it is not smoke a pipe, but growing and production controlled and monitored by a structure, even military.
Health Minister, that defines a person's "open mind" and not locked in ideological preconceptions, as demonstrated well on heterologous fertilization, does not accept that this matter will agitate cultural battles with the aim of liberalizing soft drugs. "My impression is that in this country you can not speak in themes in lay terms and aseptic, without starting to talk about liberalization ».
Unlike the case of facilitating the use of cannabis for therapeutic use, in particular the use of so-called cannabinoid drugs for pain relief in cancer patients or HIV and to treat the symptoms of diseases such as multiple sclerosis, sla, glaucoma. Why this is the goal that brings the breakthrough of entrusting to a military structure of marijuana cultivation and production of drugs derived.

Many distrust towards Lorenzin minister had come from environments Radicals and even the Democratic Party. Was told that the head of the Health restrained, slowed this solution, instead he saw his colleague Pinotti immediately agreed.
Senator Luigi Manconi the Democratic Party was one of the most critical: remains wary because he wants to see if it will go to the end in this choice. It was he who proposed a law to allow the cultivation of cannabis by persons authorized, just as the chemical plant pharmaceutical military Florence. "In conditions, then, of absolute safety, but the minister Lorenzin delayed in giving a positive response in the face of a consensus statement by the Minister Pinotti ».
Now there was a positive response in the coming weeks and will be officially announced.
Who in recent years has insisted on this solution, as the radical Rita Bernardni, pointed out the high costs and the difficulty of finding the cannabinoid drugs.

Indeed only 60 people in Italy had access to cannabis for therapeutic use by the local health authorities.
