Senatoarea Victoria Stoiciu a depus un proiect de lege prin care se dezincriminează consumul de droguri

A legislative proposal in Romania aims to decriminalize drug possession for personal use, shifting penalties from imprisonment to fines. Initiated by Senator Victoria Stoiciu and supported by colleagues, the project seeks to redirect resources towards combating drug trafficking rather than penalizing consumers. The proposal highlights that a significant percentage of drug-related cases involve consumers rather than traffickers, advocating for a medical approach to addiction. The changes would apply retroactively, ensuring that past offenders are not penalized. The initiative does not legalize drugs but aims to reduce the stigma around seeking help for addiction.
