Law regulating prevention of unlawful drug use

June 8, 2013

Vladimir Putin signed the Federal Law On Amending Individual Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation on Preventing Unlawful (Non-Medical) Use of Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances.

The Federal Law amends multiple legislative acts to stipulate the implementation of an early detection system for the use of narcotics and psychotropic substances not subscribed by a doctor among students at general and higher educational institutions in Russia.

The Federal Law identifies federal executive agencies’ and Russian Federation regional authorities’ powers with regard to preventing the unlawful use of narcotics and psychotropic substances, including the authority to establish procedures for holding socio-psychological testing and preventive student check-ups for early detection of the use of narcotics and psychotropic substances without a doctor’s prescription.
