DIICOT i-a dat înapoi canabisul medicinal: după doar o oră, jandarmii l-au confiscat din nou

A case involving the confiscation of medical cannabis raises concerns about law enforcement and patient rights. Giancarlo Cristea, who legally possessed cannabis, had it seized again shortly after it was returned to him by DIICOT following a court ruling. The incident occurred while he was en route to a hearing with his lawyers. Despite having medical documentation, law enforcement cited drug possession laws. The cannabis had initially been confiscated at the airport in July 2024, but courts ruled that its importation was legal with proper documentation. After receiving his cannabis back, it was confiscated again during a police stop, leading to a new criminal case against him. The legality of drug possession for personal use remains a contentious issue in Romania, with ongoing discussions about potential legal reforms.
