“Today, in Sevastopol, the practice has begun, so to speak, of coercive influence on persons who allow non-medical use of narcotic drugs,” Kolozin said.
According to him, this is required by Russian legislation, which provides for the obligation of a drug addict to undergo diagnostics, preventive measures, treatment for drug addiction and medical social rehabilitation in connection with the use of narcotic drugs.
“So, the district courts of the city of Sevastopol have already made 13 such decisions. In the course of implementing interdepartmental cooperation in matters of combating illicit drug trafficking, as well as in the field of preventing their non-medical use, working meetings, conferences, and boards were held. Agreements have been concluded between law enforcement agencies and local governments,” the official said.
According to him, at the moment in Sevastopol the number of people registered at the dispensary with a diagnosis of drug addiction is 1025 people. The number of detected crimes related to drug trafficking is 162. Administrative offenses are 145. More than 7 kilograms of narcotic drugs and controlled substances were seized from circulation.
