The promoter of this amendment to the law is Morgana Danielė, representative of the Freedom Group. The bill that proposes the abolition of criminal responsibility will be put to a vote at the presentation stage.

The bill presented to Parliament seeks that people in possession of small drugs, who do not seek to distribute them, are subject to administrative rather than criminal responsibility. The proposed modifications to the existing regulation provide for the production, processing, acquisition, possession, transportation and dispatch of small quantities of narcotic drugs, psychotropics or other psychoactive substances without the purpose of sale or other distribution, subject to a warning or fine of twenty to one hundred euros .

If the offense were to be repeated, it would result in a fine of between one hundred and two hundred euros.

Criminal liability – for larger amounts

A person who illegally manufactures, processes, acquires, acquires, possesses, transports or ships more than a small quantity of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances without the intention of selling or otherwise distributing them would be punished with a proposal, fine or arrest, or imprisonment of up to two years. If a person voluntarily seeks help or wishes to donate medicine, they will be exempt from criminal liability.

The bill reads: “A person who voluntarily requested medical assistance from a health care institution or a state institution for the return of illegally manufactured, acquired or retained products for the purpose of distributing narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances production, acquisition and substance storage “.

Small and large quantities of drugs are identified and regulated in accordance with the recommendations already approved by the Ministry of Health. They are available here.

As a result of this initiative, 39 members of the Seimas signed: M. Danielė, Kazys Starkevičius, Gabrielius Landsbergis, Aušrinė Armonaitė, Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen, Ingrida Šimonytė, Stasys Šedbaras, Tomas Vytautas Raskevičius, Silva Lengvinienarkišitis Matijoaaitis. , Virgilijus Alekna, Andrius Bagdonas, Evelina Dobrovolska, Artūras Žukauskas, Kasparas Adomaitis, Paulė Kuzmickienė, Žygimantas Pavilionis, Dovilė Šakalienė, Gintautas Paluckijus, Linas Jonauskas, Domas Griškeviudačasiusčristomas, Kristiškeviudačasius, Tomas Griškeviudačasiusčasuskonas, Kiskeviudačasckius Kernagis, Radvilė Morkūnaitė-Mikulėnienė, Justas Džiugelis.
