Waching daily Mar 1 2018

- The last weekend 4th Canapa Mundi edition was cellebrated in Rome. We were visiting this super event

- and here is the report.

- Canapa Mundi is an international cannabic fair cellebrated in Rome during 16,17

- and 18 February.

- Canapa Mundi borns to unify cannabis world in Italy, like it name says...

- Cannabis has been really using during a lot in Italy and in the rest of Europe. Starting with the production process,

- that has been lost since 60's, until industrial hemp sector...

- One of the richests in Europe... This plan was abandoned and during the last 20 years it has been restarted

- pretty succesfully so hectares dedicated to hemp cultivation increase every day, but this sector never talked

- about grow shops for example... An world in exponentioal expansion since 2000

- specially in Spain more than in Italy, but now there is a real market and it makes posible a big fair to get unified

- and arrive to to the big transversal public, including families with their kids and grandpas...

- All kind of people who wants to break pre judgements... Really strong in Italian society.

- Fair included a lot of stands and professionals arrvied from all around the world and conferences about

- legal, medicinal or simply generally cannabic interest.

- The truth is that it has growed up a lot since it started in a little pavillion... It's bigger now and people's response

- is so good. Main brands of the world are here... We're really happy

- for repercussion... It's bigger every year... Specially this edition, in wich we're seing the great evolution

- Cannabis Lite is having and how it's being received allows everytime more cannabis and hemp companies

- in Cannabis Lite with representation in this kind of fairs.

- With the early numbers of the day, we've discovered we've got

- more than the double of visits than this day the last year, in wich we had 1500... 23000 during all the event.

- This is why, in proportion, we expect so much public today. We've seen a lot of people in a nice morning...

- Really long qeque to get in... There is a bus coming from the last undeground metro for free so we're waiting

- for so much people.

- Italian publis is so enthusiastic... Really like spanish so i see a really nice future.

- The fair had excellent organization that included details like free shuttle services, kindergartens,

- visual experiences and dj's, workshops and conferences, relax and food zones.

- We've got 2 new strains, an indica and a sative, and new strains with high cbd levels... Really nice.

- We make terpenes... 100% natural terpene profiles of cannabis strains. We introduce more strains every year,

- the last year we had 16 strains the last year and we've added 18 more this year... Specially american,

- the fashion tendence now about varieties.

- We're really delayed at medicinal level... Law could be enought

- but there are still no good conditions for that in sense that there is not adequate production in Italy.

- We know that Florencia Pharmacologic Institute, wich is the one authorized to produce hemp, cannot produce enought

- to italian patients even for a few months. Patient assotiations say it's not enought. Let's see it there is

- some kind of change, specially at legislative level

- because medicinal cannabis is more luckyly more accepted by society, not like with playful use,

- wich receives resistence and the law criminalized playful use

- so these are really bad contitions because every day young and not so young people find legislative holes.

- Almost half of jailed people in Italy is in jail because of drug questions, and most of them by light drugs, so

- cannabis becomes a social problem. From Canapa Mundi, we try to contribute

- with associations like Free Weed, really active in the territory giving info without diminishing

- atention about what's the real social problem, prohibitionism, afflicting a lot of people every day.

- Playful use is almost like in all countries... They've advanced a lot about medicinal in relationship with

- strains with less than 2%thc... Cannabis Lite made easier for a lot of people to get access to not only psycho

- active effects ( like we like in our country)... More cannabinoids with more therapeutic potential like cbd

- allowing cannabis to be more accessible with our legislation in the most european countries.

- We are in a pretty confuse situation about legal situation of cannabis, hemp, thc level,

- cbd level, what's legal, what's registered, what not... Conflict now is not clearing seed's origin

- because we've been still not allowed to certify them. When we certify other hemp strains with superior thc levels

- with other aromatic profiles... It will help it to be known and force government to

- see there is a necessity and a reall user who claims it. Therapeutically, introducing a cannabis lite with register

- and analitics to grant they're heavy metal and bacteria free... Medicinal patient cannot be alert for

- if there is a bad product... Everyday there is more access to quality products to grant

- patients the product they need... I think there has been a lot of development about medicinals during the last years.

- And we hope it to continue like that.

- About the politic situation, they already demonstrate true politic voluntee in parliament to change

- conditions. For sure a big part of the society will start making pressure because most of italians would vote for

- legalization tomorrow.

- Our hope is that society make pressure over politicians to get a more human and better adapted law.
