It then took five months to hammer out what would be considered the single dose of various drugs.

Ten times the amount of a single dose, as set in the government resolution that came into effect Wednesday, is 20 grams of marijuana, 5 grams of hashish, mescaline or opium, 1.5 grams of cocaine, 1 gram of heroin or methamphetamine, and 0.003 grams of LSD.

Anyone caught in possession of these amounts or less cannot legally be detained, a spokeswoman for the Moscow branch of the Federal Anti-Drug Service said. Instead, a report will be filed and the fine will be determined by a court.

President Vladimir Putin signed an amendment to the Criminal Code
in December stipulating that possession of no more than 10 times
the amount of a "single dose" would now be considered an
administrative infraction rather than a criminal offense.
Punishment would be a fine of no more than 40,000 rubles ($1,380)
or community service.

Altså skal russerne betale op til 1380$ hvis de bliver taget med op til 20 g. pot eller 1,5 g. kokain. Mon ikke det er en rimelig grim bøde at få hvis man er russisk narkoman.

Tjoh, det er rimeligt stramt, men mon ikke man får samfundstjeneste første gang det sker?

Til tias tro du selv på der er noget som hedder samfundstjeneste i Rusland??? For øvrigt er 1380$ så mange penge i Rusland at måske ligefrem kan sammenligne det med 138.000 i Kr.
For at lave en sammenligning så koster en hotdog i Rusland det samme som det en generel fabriksarbejder tjener på 1 uge
