The legislative package on drug policy will be discussed at a conference in Tbilisi today. Foreign experts will also present their opinion at the event organized by the Healthcare Committee.

" It is noteworthy that consumption should not be punishable by a prison sentence, it is forbidden and remains punishable by an administrative procedure, "said Akaki Zoidze, chairman of the Healthcare Committee.

The initiator of the package NGOs explained that the novelty aims to introduce a new drug policy, which will focus on treatment, rehabilitation and prevention instead of repressive criminal mechanisms. The bill was prepared by the National Platform of Drug Policy.

"Parliament will ultimately come up with the decision whether or not the proposed reforms prepared by the National Platform for Drug Policy, which implies full decriminalization of drug use," - said Davit Subeliani, the activist of the White Noise Movement.

The opposition speaks about the need for liberalization of drug policy and calls on the ruling team to make changes in the accelerated manner.
