Legislative Decree 3084, published 11 October 1954, made cultivating Indian hemp, trafficking, and possessing narcotics punishable by up to ten years in prison. Taking drugs for non-medical purposes drew at least six months, and driving under their influence at least two years. Courts could instead commit a habitual user to a treatment institution.[1]
