Dezincriminarea posesiei de droguri, propusă în România, un experiment eșuat chiar și în țările cu un sistem sanitar bine pus la punct

A legislative proposal in Romania aims to decriminalize various drug-related activities, including possession and cultivation, without a fixed quantity threshold. This approach contrasts with international models, particularly Portugal, which combines decriminalization with robust health support systems. Critics argue that the Romanian proposal lacks necessary institutional frameworks and could lead to increased public health issues without adequate treatment resources. The absence of a quantitative limit raises concerns about enforcement and potential misuse. Historical examples from Canada and Oregon highlight the challenges of decriminalization without comprehensive health strategies, suggesting that simply removing penalties does not guarantee improved health outcomes.
