A new highway code coming into force
next Saturday that sets jail terms of up to one year, a
three-year license confiscation and fines of up to 6,000 euros
for drivers who test positive for cannabis will have
“devastating effects on the lives of many people,” More Europe
leader Riccardo Magi said Sunday.
Magia pointed out that traces of THC, the active ingredient in
the drug, may remain in the blood for as long as 80 hours after
the person smoked marijuana or otherwise consumed cannabis.
He also said Transport Minister Matteo Salvini had done a U-turn
in exempting people who use medical marijuana from the penalties
“at the last minute, having realised that “this legal mess would
have been knocked down in court by the first appeal filed.”
