Înainte de dezincriminare, România trebuie să construiască prevenția. Barometrul ABC arată unde trebuie intervenit

Proposed legislative changes regarding drug use and trafficking in Romania have sparked societal debate, focusing on how the state should address drug consumption. The initiative suggests that actions solely for personal use, such as possession or cultivation, should be treated as contraventions rather than crimes, while drug trafficking remains a criminal offense. The ABC Barometer emphasizes the need for prevention as the primary defense against drug issues, highlighting the importance of accurate data collection and early intervention for at-risk youth. It advocates for a unified national reporting system and improved school counseling services to better address the problem. The report stresses that legislative changes alone cannot replace the need for prevention, education, and treatment services, urging a balanced approach that prioritizes support before punishment.
