ROME (Reuters) - An Italian court has ruled that taking 40 joints of hashish on a school trip is not a crime.
The marijuana was for personal use since the 17-year-old student planned to share it with two fellow students and a teacher, the appeals court judge said.
Under Italian law, selling marijuana is a crime, but possession for personal use is not.
"It could easily have been consumed during the many days of the trip," Corriere della Sera daily quoted the court ruling as saying.
Thank you. This has been a public service annoucement brought to you by Ronin, your favorite neighborhood mercenary.
