The amended law broadens the definition of personal use and no longer considers possession of a quantity exceeding that authorized for a 10-day supply as proof of trafficking. This means that, from now on, when seizing substances from a user, the police will have to prove that these substances were intended for the black market, rather than for personal use, before they can accuse them of<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“drug trafficking.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, the Portuguese government approved the final text of the new Narcotics Law, the result of a bill presented to parliament in March by a delegation of MPs, mostly from the Social Democratic Party (PSD). After some reservations expressed by the judicial police and the PSD itself, the law received parliamentary approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, the final version of the text, following lengthy discussions within the Committee on Constitutional Affairs, Rights, Freedoms, and Guarantees, is the result of a collective debate on the PSD’s bill as well as on another bill tabled in June by the Socialist Party (PS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
