Are the penalties for all illegal drugs the same

Whether you are planning to buy or sell drugs, it is important to be aware of the penalties that are associated with these crimes. The penalties vary according to the amount and type of drug involved. They also depend on the crime’s severity and the aggravating factors.

The penalties for possession are usually in the range of a fine or up to a year in prison. However, in certain cases, they may be suspended. In particular, penalties for possession of cannabis are generally suspended if the offender completed drug treatment. In other cases, the penalty may be suspended if the crime was committed by a person in a position of power or if the offender committed the offence with the intention of selling or distributing the drug.

The penalties for the supply of drugs vary according to the drug type and its class. There are also certain factors that can increase the penalty, such as the quantity of drugs supplied or the involvement of international criminal organisations.

The penalties for supplying large amounts of drugs, including cannabis, are generally much higher than those for small amounts. The minimum range for large amounts of drugs is 1-10 years, while the maximum range is 15 years or more. In addition, trafficking of large amounts of drugs is generally punishable by up to 20 years or more.

In addition to penalties for supply of drugs, there are also penalties for possession. For example, possession of small amounts of cannabis is punishable by a fine of up to EUR 251-2500 in a correctional court. However, it is also possible to receive a suspended sentence if the offender committed the offence to avoid prosecution. In addition, a person who is dependent on drugs may be sent to therapeutic counselling.

Unlike the penalties for the possession of drugs, the penalties for the supply of drugs are not affected by addiction. They also do not vary according to recidivism. However, in addition to imprisonment, a person can be subject to administrative sanctions such as suspension of a driving license or a residential permit. In addition, a person’s license to carry firearms may be suspended.

There are also penalties for possession of psychotropic drugs. The penalties for possession of psychotropic drugs are distinct from the penalties for the supply of drugs. The penalty for possession of psychotropic drugs is usually in the range of up to 5 years in prison. In addition, a person may be subject to up to 3 years in prison if they are found to be involved in the supply of drugs to an addicted person.

The penalties for drug supply offences vary according to the quantity and type of drugs involved. The penalty range for drug supply offences is up to eight years in prison for importing or distributing drugs from another country, up to three years for the supply of substances from the cannabis plant, and up to five years for the supply of any other drug.
