Italy's Constitutional Court on
Wednesday said that growing cannabis is a crime even if it is
cultivated only for personal use.
The top court gave the ruling in knocking back a case
raised by the Brescia appeals court about the legitimacy of
criminal punishment for growing cannabis for personal use,
mooting the possibility that an administrative sanction was more
appropriate.
The decision follows the precedents set by previous
rulings.
