When we talk about cannabis light, we specifically refer to a certain amount and specific uses of active ingredients extracted from the female inflorescence of the plant, such that they do not have psychoactive effects.
What is cannabis light
The Cannabis Light is a type of cannabis that contains very low levels of THC – tetrahydrocannabinol – which is the main psychoactive compound of cannabis, in simple terms, it is the substance that gives the sensation of "high".
To be certified as light cannabis and therefore fall among the substances that can legally be purchased, cannabis must contain less than 0.6% of THC. To understand the difference between cannabis light and the one "normally" understood, just think that the latter can contain up to 30% of THC.
The effects of cannabis light are very mild, and for this reason, it is used for its medicinal properties, mainly for its relaxing effect and pain-relieving properties.
Based on the strain, cannabis sativa has different effects
Not all cannabis plants have the same properties: some contain THC, while others are rich in CBD – cannabidiol. CBD is an active ingredient that, unlike THC, has no psychoactive effect and is the predominant one in cannabis light. To put it simply, CBD is the active ingredient used for the beneficial and therapeutic properties extracted from the female plant flowers.
So, when we talk about "cannabis light", we refer to varieties of cannabis with a low THC content and a high CBD content, and only the latter are those legally available for sale.

Legal aspects in Italy
The law that allowed the sale of light hemp in stores and online shops is Law 242 of 2016, which legalized CBD products regulating and imposing certain limits regarding the expected THC quantity.
The amount of THC in products derived from light hemp must not exceed 0.6%. Furthermore, the law requires anyone who sells or cultivates cannabis sativa products to have all the certificates required by law that precisely identify the origin of the seeds and the treatments performed.
While Law 242 legalizes the sale of light cannabis and derivatives, it also prohibits consumption for recreational purposes. Light cannabis is typically sold in the form of flowers or in other forms such as CBD oil and topic products, all legal in Italy.
The benefits and uses of light cannabis
CBD oil, for example, is considered a supplement and is used especially for its relaxing and anti-inflammatory properties. However, like all products derived from light cannabis, it is not recommended for individuals with certain conditions, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and minors.
The active ingredient CBD has a wide range of therapeutic and medical benefits, including anxiety reduction, pain relief, and improved sleep.
As mentioned, the effects of light cannabis are very mild and it is primarily used for its relaxing action and its analgesic power, especially in conditions of chronic pain.
