In blow for cannabis advocates, Italy’s high court blocks referendum
The Italian Constitutional Court has blocked a referendum on making growing cannabis legal, stating the law would force Italy to violate its international obligations to prevent drug trafficking. Critics said the court had stifled the democratic process as the petition had gained enough signatures to trigger a referendum. The decision comes some weeks after Malta became the first European country to legalise the possession of small amounts of cannabis and the cultivation of up to four plants at home.
