Answer 1

no. but y do u want to know?

Answer 2

I'm Italian! Marijuana is ILLEGAL here... Getting caught or not is another topic but you can't sell, buy, smoke or own it!

Anyway you are very unlikely to get caught by the police...

I suggest you to be very careful in buying marijuana here because turists are often deceived in this sort of thing and the risk is that you pay a lot for.... rosemary!!!!

Answer 3

well im going in a little less than a month for four months, so ive been trying to find out the same thing.  what i found is that its not illegal to smoke it, just to sell, grow, or distribute.  I looked on a couple of sites and they confused me, but the overall jist is that i guess they can still arrest you if you want, but its not likely, just be careful.  Just pretend your in the US and smoke in a car or in your room or somewhere you cant easily get caught.  good luck, if you find any set information let me know.  have fun

Italy approves new marijuana law

By Christian Fraser

BBC News, Rome

The Italian government has approved a law that increases sanctions against people who smoke marijuana, putting the drug on a par with cocaine and heroin.

Under the new legislation, people found in possession of cannabis could risk having their passport and their driving licence suspended.

The government has forced through this new legislation with a confidence vote.

The move has been greeted mostly with dismay by opposition MPs and drug treatment professionals.

Under the new rules, dealing and trafficking in drugs - whether heroin, cocaine or cannabis - will be punished with jail sentences of between six and 20 years and a fine of up to 260,000 euros (£180,000).

People who ignore repeated warnings to stop using cannabis will face a driving ban and be forced to stay at home at night.

According to recent statistics, a third of teenagers in Italy have smoked marijuana at least once, and 10% of adults are said to smoke it on a regular basis.

On Wednesday more than 200 protesters and at least one opposition MP smoked cannabis joints in protest outside parliament.

Opposition leaders said it would be one of the first laws they abolish if they win power in April.
