Grow marijuana indoors, under lamps. This year, the harvest of three seedlings brought him 60 grams of weed .
Mattia Santori , founder of the Sardine movement and today city councilor in Bologna with responsibility for tourism, as well as promoter of various awareness-raising initiatives on the legalization of cannabis, confessed this during the States General on cannabis that took place in Milan.
“ I've been making rods since I was 18 - explains Santori -, then one day my sister returned from Amsterdam brought me some seeds. A goliardic gift, I planted them and it went wrong, then I bought the necessary and on the third attempt they grew. In short, I don't just consume it, but I self-produce it for personal use ".
Santori knows that cultivation is equated to dealing: “I risk six years in prison, it's absurd , it is no coincidence that the Supreme Court has indicated to the courts to consider the cultivation of a few plants as personal use. Now it's up to Parliament to move ”.
Santori buys the seeds "from a hemp-maker who pays taxes", so "I know where my money is going and it's all legal". " I don't want - he continues - that my recreational consumption enriches a criminal , which is why I say that mine is a virtuous behavior".

Furious the reaction of the Brothers of Italy, the deputy Galeazzo Bignami expressed in a statement the " bewilderment " of the party. “Santori brazenly admitted that he had been making joints from the age of 18, habitually consuming cannabis and even growing it at home. We trust that the competent authorities will intervene immediately, but what is certain is that his words are unacceptable because he is an exponent of the institutions who sends a devastating message of normalization of drug use ”.
Santori's words confirm all his "inadequacy", continues Bignami, who asks the mayor of Bologna to withdraw the proxy and the Pd secretary Enrico Letta a " ".
