Proiect de lege: Deținerea de droguri pentru consum propriu ar putea fi sancționată doar cu amendă

A proposed law in Romania aims to decriminalize personal drug possession, replacing imprisonment with fines. Supported by several senators, the initiative seeks to shift focus from consumers to traffickers. If passed, fines would range from 1,000 to 3,000 lei, while drug trafficking remains a crime. The senator argues that current policies disproportionately target users, with a significant rise in consumer convictions over the past decade. The bill is currently under legislative review in the Senate.
