Hello, I want to ask about drug possession in...

We would like to inform you that the penalty is 10 years or less or a fine, but usually imprisonment is not ruled, but rather a judgment is placed in a hospital for treatment of addiction

Where the law affirmed that, instead of imposing a penalty, the court may order that a person who is proven addicted to drug use be deposited into one of the clinics specified by the Minister of Public Health., to be dealt with until a committee - to be formed by a decision from the Minister of Public Health - submits a report on his condition to the court to decide whether to release him or to continue his detention for a period or other periods.

The period of staying in the sanatorium may not be less than six months and not more than two years.
