The health Ministry has proposed to increase the penalty for drug use

For drug use it is necessary to toughen punishment. The penalty for such offense shall be not less than 10 thousand rubles. About it on air of radio station “Moscow speaking” said the chief non-staff specialist psychiatrist-narcologist of the Department of health of the city of Moscow and the Ministry of health of Russia Yevgeny Bryun.

a Good idea (to increase the penalty for drug use — approx. ed). I think our legislation allows it to do, — said the psychiatrist. Just the amount of the fine should be adequately high. I think at least ten thousand rubles.
