Italy — allotment, law and dispensaries
Ivy's summary of the rules in force now, with a link to the official program.
Italy allotment
There is no fixed national monthly gram limit for all patients; instead, the quantity is determined by the prescribing physician based on the patient's specific therapeutic needs and the authorized dosage. Patients obtain their medicine through pharmacies upon presentation of a valid medical prescription.
- Quantity is determined by the prescribing physician based on individual clinical requirements.
- Only registered patients with a valid medical prescription may obtain medical cannabis.
- Home cultivation of cannabis for medical or personal use is not permitted.
- Patients cannot import their own medicine; supply is managed through state-authorized channels and pharmacies.

Cannabis law in Italy
Legal — medical useItaly operates a national medical cannabis programme where patients can access cannabis-based medicines through a prescription from a physician. The programme is regulated by the Ministry of Health, with supply managed through state-controlled production at the Military Chemical Pharmaceutical Institute in Florence and authorized imports.
- Medical cannabis is legal and available via prescription for specific conditions such as chronic pain, multiple sclerosis, and oncology-related nausea.
- The Stabilimento Chimico Farmaceutico Militare (SCFM) in Florence is the primary state-run facility for domestic production.
- Patients must obtain a prescription from a doctor, which is then filled at authorized pharmacies.
- Recreational cannabis remains illegal, though possession of small quantities for personal use is treated as an administrative offense rather than a criminal one.
- Imports of medical cannabis are strictly regulated and permitted only from specific authorized suppliers.
