Italy Sets Drug Trafficking Limit at 5 Grams of Marijuana
Italy has set the amount of marijuana that qualifies a citizen as a trafficker at 5 grams, and the amount of cocaine at 1.6 grams. The new policy incorporated scientific analyses to avoid former arbitrary thresholds that would lead to much worse and undeserved punishments. For traffickers, jailtime can range from 6-20 years, and regular users risk the loss of their license or passport.
