Impacts of the new Criminal Code to be analysed only on the basis of research into marijuana markets
PRESS RELEASE, Centre for Addictology, 17 May 2010 On 1 January 2010, the new Criminal Code entered into force, together with the Government Regulation setting the quantity of drugs that is still seen as “bigger than small” by the legislation. Both of these legal regulations represent the first historical attempt in the Czech Republic to introduce a clear legislative differentiation between drugs on the basis of their danger for society and health, as is the case in the majority of EU countries. The Centre for Addictology is currently performing a research study assessing the impacts of this legislative amendment on the Czech illegal marijuana market. The first outcomes of the research can be expected at the beginning of 2011; the study itself will be completed after its second phase with a final analytical report in 2012.
