General Giocondo Santoni directs the business unit at the military pharmaceutical facility in Florence. ‘We expect to make this drug available by the end of this year in a quantity of about 100 kilos (220 lbs), which is double the amount that we are currently importing from the Netherlands.’ Italy legalised the use of medical marijuana in 2007, meaning patients suffering from cancer, sclerosis and chronic pain have relied on the plant for relief. For 25ml of cannabis oil, it can cost more than 400 euros per month.”
