At the same time, drug advertising itself is already a fact of propaganda of their use, Milonov said.
In his opinion, it is seen not only by “potential consumers” of prohibited products, but also by “people who do not face the world of crime”.

“In this regard, I ask you to take measures to stop the mass distribution of illegal advertising of narcotic drugs. I believe that the existing Criminal and Administrative Codes need amendments to toughen the punishment for such actions - the punishment for this should at least equal responsibility for the direct distribution of the drugs themselves, or even be more severe, ”the statement says.
Currently, according to Article 228.1 of the Criminal Code, for the illegal production, sale or transfer of narcotic and psychotropic substances imprisonment is provided for a period of from four years to life imprisonment.
In the fall of 2018, a bill was submitted to the State Duma, which proposed to prohibit the dissemination in the media and the Internet of information on the methods and methods of producing psychoactive substances (spice).
