France Proposes Increased Drug Fines, License Suspension
A proposed law under discussion aims to increase penalties for drug use at festivals. Participants could face fines of 1,500 euros, while organizers or other individuals could be fined 30,000 euros. One festival attendee reported being fined 135 euros multiple times for cannabis use. The legislation targets the use of alcohol and cannabis in public festival settings. France is proposing to increase fines for drug consumers from 200 to 500 euros. These measures are intended to strengthen the fight against drug trafficking, targeting consumers and street-level dealing.
