Drug use
Drug use: €200 fine from 1 September
Publié le null - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
Drug users, including cannabis users, may be fined €200. If the fine is paid within 15 days, it shall be reduced to €150. After 45 days, the offender will have to pay a fine plus €450. The offense shall be recorded by the law enforcement authorities by means of an electronic report.
After a first deployment, since June 16, 2020, in the cities of Rennes, Reims, Créteil, Lille and Marseille, the fixed fine of €200 for use of narcotic is generalized to the whole territory from 1er September 2020.
This provision shall apply within the framework of the justice reform which had intended to extend the flat-rate fine to cover the offenses of selling alcohol to minors and using drugs.
FYI
A decree of 18 August 2021 on the procedure for the fine for misdemeanor offenses provides that the lump sum fines are no longer sent to the offenders by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt but by simple letter in order to limit the rate of undistributed folds.
