Russia’s drug control authorities have called for criminal punishment for “systematic drug use,” head of Federal Drug Control Service (FSKN) Sergei Yakovlev proposed on Wednesday.

The service plans a number of amendments to legislation including introducing criminal punishment or treatment as an alternative.

Drug users would face incarceration if he or she is caught a second time. First time offenders would pay a fine.

Yakovlev stressed that criminal punishment for drug use is “is not a goal in itself,” but would be an “additional legal mechanism to help people to stop taking drugs.”

Yakovlev did not specify how the offenders would be punished.
