A drug-taking tip from Italy's agriculture minister went viral Tuesday, after he scoffed at "cannabis light" and said that if you were going to smoke a joint, "do it right".
Giorgia Meloni's hard-right government is considering banning so-called "cannabis light", a weaker form of the drug containing less than 0.5 percent of the psychoactive compound THC that has been legal in Italy for production and sale since 2019.
During a rally Monday ahead of this weekend's European Parliament elections, a television journalist handed Agriculture Minister Francesco Lollobrigida a joint, saying it was "cannabis light" and asking him if he would like to try.
