Problém zvaný DROGA
A problem called DRUGS

Summary/Abstract: The student paper discusses the issue of drug possession for personal use in the Czech Republic, highlighting the broader societal and legal challenges. It outlines two primary approaches to drug policy: one aiming for a drug-free society through repression, and the other focusing on minimizing the harmful consequences of drug abuse. The article emphasizes the impracticality of a drug-free society and the need for a balanced approach that includes both legal and therapeutic measures. It compares the Czech approach with those of other European countries, noting the inconsistencies between national laws and international obligations. The author argues for a nuanced policy that distinguishes between different types of drugs and focuses on prevention, treatment, and the prosecution of drug dealers rather than users. The article also stresses the importance of international cooperation and compliance with UN drug conventions. Finally, it calls for increased support for social care institutions and a more effective prevention strategy.
