Georgian Gov't to adopt uncompromising stance in fight against drugs, warns Parliament Committee Chair

Levan Makhashvili, the Chair of the Committee on European Integration of the Georgian Parliament, on Sunday reaffirmed the Government’s firm stance on drug policy, emphasising that the state would adopt a strict and uncompromising approach to combating drug-related offences.

In his remarks, Makhashvili addressed the issue of drug policy tightening, warning individuals who may have previously taken advantage of a more lenient approach.

“I want to urge everyone who may have benefited from a relatively liberal drug policy until now to completely refrain from such actions, as the state will be unwavering and strict in its approach to combating drugs. At the same time, I encourage everyone to actively support a healthy lifestyle policy”, Makhashvili said.

The Georgian Government’s efforts to toughen drug policies align with its broader strategy to ensure public safety and promote a drug-free society.

Officials have reiterated their commitment to enforcing stricter measures while simultaneously advocating for public health initiatives.
