When it comes to cannabis laws in Florence, things are quite weird and exciting.

Cannabis is entirely illegal in Florence. However, a small quantity for personal use has been decriminalized.

Cannabis for industrial uses is also legal, and the government is working to make the laws more relaxed around cannabis. As of now, things are in a grey area.

Law Enforcement

Law enforcement can be quite odd in Florence when it comes to cannabis. If you are caught with a small amount (less than 5 grams), there are chances of the cops only letting you off with a warning and a fine, or they might even decide to arrest you.

Of course, if you have more than 5 grams on you, you will most definitely be arrested, so be very cautious about this.

There are certain places where you can openly smoke cannabis in public, and the cops will simply turn a blind eye towards you. If you are a citizen and you are caught with a small possession, there are chances that the cops can suspend your documents (driver’s license or passport). For tourists, however, this will not happen, but you can still be arrested.
