Italian Court Decides Rastas Can Toke Freely

OMG SOCIETY IS COLLAPSING

Italy's highest criminal court has ruled that the fact Rastafarians consider marijuana use a religious sacrament should be taken into account if they are tried on trafficking charges.

...

The court threw out the drug trafficking conviction of a 44-year-old Italian Rastafarian.

It ruled the amount he possessed was in line with the heavy use that comes with his religious beliefs.
...

The Italian Health Ministry described the ruling as "disturbing."

"These rulings represent an element of destabilization for the pillars of secularism," Undersecretary Francesca Martini said in a statement.
