Big opportunity for WEED.

Too expensive for those who buy it, too cheap for those who sell it. But the ones who lose are always the ill ones. In Italy, cannabis for therapeutic purposes can be sold under medical prescription in pharmacies and hospitals. At least on paper you can choose between five different productions imported from the Netherlands - Bedrocan, Bediol, Bedrobinol, Bedrobinol and Bedrolite - and Fm2, the only variety made in Italy. According to the Italian law, in fact it is possible to use cannabinoid for medical treatment in Italy since April 2007: in these ten years, however, just a few patients have been able to use products from the Bedrocan only, a company that produces and distributes the inflorescences used as therapy, with prices reaching up to 50 euros per gram.
