Hemp Embassy, the first shop in
Italy to sell cannabis cuttings, opened in Milan's Viale Tibaldi
on Thursday.
The 500 plants on sale all carried a disclaimer to the effect
that they are without psychoactive effects as the level of THC
present is less than 0.2%.
"The plants are for ornamental use only and should be placed
under artificial or natural light for at least 18 hours a day to
prevent flowering," read the labels as required by law.
However, if clients then want to make the plants flower in
order to exploit their active ingredient "it is down to their
own free will", proprietor Alberto Valsecchi said.
