Rasta smoker wins appeal against pot conviction in Italy

"Smoking pot in Italy is not a crime, but being caught with amounts considered too large for personal use can bring charges of trafficking.

The court threw out the drug trafficking conviction of a 44-year-old Italian Rastafarian.

It ruled the amount he possessed was in line with the heavy use that comes with his religious beliefs.

Police had found the man with several grams of marijuana, enough to make around 70 cigarettes, which he claimed were all for personal use. "
