Together with the country's Department for Anti-Drug Policies, the DCSA helps organize various conferences to shed light on drug-related issues and make recommendations on relevant statutes. It has signed bilateral and multilateral drug enforcement agreements with authorities in nearly 60 countries and regions.
In addition, around two dozen national groups in Italy, which advocate the use of certain light drugs like cannabis as a therapy against certain illnesses, used the international day to call for rules that would facilitate access to such drugs.
"June 26 is an unmissable opportunity to shout to the country that we exist and we are tired of being forgotten," Luciano Squillaci, president of the Italian Federation of Therapeutic Communities, said in a statement. Squillaci also said his organization and many others were "involved in a battle for fair treatment."
Speaking on Thursday, Roberta Pacifici, director of the National Center on Addiction and Doping, part of Italy's National Institute of Health, said that the center did not oppose the legal use of drugs, that the average age of illicit drug users was dropping for the first time, and that the country's overall addiction levels were growing.
"This is the time for action, more than ever before," Pacifici said in a video conference.
