Radical Party member and treasurer of
the Luca Coscioni right-to-die association Marco Cappato on
Tuesday started distributing cannabis seeds on his website
www.marcocappato.it. Cappato posted a video explaining that he
was protesting parliamentary stalemate over a bill legalising
the use of cannabis. "To those who ask for them, I'll send a
letter asking them to grow and consumer their own (cannabis)
instead of turning to the black market," he said. Cappato
recalled that he filed a bill with more than 60,000 signatures
in November but there has been little movement in parliament so
far. Cappato has been in the news recently for taking terminally
ill patients to commit assisted suicide in Switzerland.
