The cultivation of hemp for industrial use Agricultural operators may, in compliance with European Union legislation and the competence of the Ministry of Food, agriculture and forestry, cultivate hemp exclusively for the production of fibers or for other industrial uses, different from the pharmaceutical use, with certified seed, in application of the rules of the sector, according to the indications as to require the Ministry of Food, agriculture and forestry.

A study of the Harvard Medical School appeared on the Journal of Neuroscience, has confirmed that the use of cannabis even only once a week, causes alteration of some areas of the brain. The most modern techniques of neuroimaging that allow the visualization of areas of the brain have allowed to locate in the brain of the people who use drugs, the modifications, sometimes permanent, induced by drugs, with repercussions on the development and functioning of the brain. In fact these techniques (TAC, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, PET and SPECT) reveal different aspects of the structure and functioning of the brain, anatomy and tissue composition, biochemical processes, physiological and functional, the activity of the neurotransmitters, of the distribution of the substances, etc... This allows the visualization, beyond that of the seating and the extension of the brain damage, also the impact that the mental processes have on brain activity. The use in this case of magnetic resonance, has allowed us to compare the brain of children between the ages of 18 and 25 that made use of marijuana at least once a week with that of those who do not smoke. The brain of those who smoked, even occasionally, had alterations in brain areas connected to the emotions and dependency directly in proportion to the degree of consumption of drugs. Marijuana and hashish have effects - sometimes permanent type - on the system of the receptors encefalici members control of emotions and anxiety, such as serotonin or adrenaline. For these reasons the cannabis, like other psychotropic substances such as cocaine and derivatives amfetaminici, hallucinogens but also the alcohol, can influence the development psycho-emotional with distortion of personality, in certain cases irreversible, i.e. without remission once suspended the use. If it is true that not all cannabis consumers undergo changes in mood and emotions felt as dangerous, it is equally true that in many kids become cannabis users that previously were emotionally balanced, you can observe important changes in the character and emotional states swinging (from loss of interest and motivation, until discontrollo pulses). For this reason the prevention should be targeted mainly adolescents, relating not only to the abuse, but also to "simple" use of narcotic substances that represents, in the totality of the cases which have since become pathological, track of beginning. The "becoming unpopular" with respect to the spread of the need to experiment with psychotropic substances can represent, especially in an age such as adolescence, an excellent resource designed to ensure a quality of future life better. Therapeutic Properties and ecological uses of cannabis The therapeutic properties of Cannabis sativa are known from five thousand years, and between 1840 and 1900 came out more than 100 scientific work, as recalled Lester Grinspoon, professor emeritus of psychiatry at the University of Harvard, which in his book "Marijuana, medicine prohibited" (Editori Riuniti) says: "I have come to the conclusion that if any other drug had revealed similar therapeutic potential combined with a similar primacy of harmlessness, specialists and the public would have demonstrated for it a much higher. The reputation largely undeserved of cannabis as harmful drugs in recreational use and the consequent legal restrictions have hampered its use medical and scientific research. As a result, the medical community has become ignorant in fact of cannabis and was both an agent and a victim, in the dissemination of misinformation and myths terrifying." According Grinspoon times were ripe for rethinking the legislation on marijuana.
