youths and druugs
Hello again :P I've heard you guys wanted to know some more about how common drugs and alcohol is in the swedish society nowdays and what kind of rules and laws we have against it.
I must say that alcohol is the biggest and most used intoxicant by youths theese days and I don't really don't know why, it's easier to get alcohol than drugs but drugs is not that hard to get, maybe it's the price is too high?The youths these days has the knowledge of which harm the drugs does to you? I'm not sure but I think also that drugs is relative new to sweden is not a part of the culture like in mexico or somewhere else where the drugs are popular and that can contribute with it's low level of usage. Here in sweden the traditional intoxicant is alcohol and I maybe mostly of the swedes are satisfied with that? I can't really find a better way or another way to explain why there arn't so much swedes out there doing drugs.
Sure it's maybe someone in every school calss that has tried some light drug like hash or Marijana or something else similar to that no surprise about that but I don't think that it's so many youths that gets stuck in an addiction because of these light drugs.
And the penalty for using or holding Maja and hash can be a couple of months in prison, that depends of course how much drugs you have and so on. If you're under fiftheen (fiftheen is the required age for being prosecuted in the trail) and get arrested for possesing drugs they send you to juvenile or if you just tested a small amount one time it could end up in several meetings with the social services and you're parents has to take part too. This is to make sure this don't happens again.
If you get caught by the police with alcohol and/or completely wasted they will ake you're alcohol and pour it out just like that. If you're under fiftheen you will be taken to the hospital or directly home(it depends on your condition) and then warn your parents and the police could also report it to the social services and in that case you have to go with your parents to regularly meetings with the social services. If the case is that you're above fiftheen you can be sent to the police station (this is normaly if your behaviour is bad and agressive) and reported to the police for agressivnes and drunkenness in public or something like that I believe. Otherwise if you're only to wasted to stand up you gets to spend the night in a detox cell.
The age of buying alcohol in liqour stores is twenty years old, but you're allowed to drink at bars, clubs when you're eighteen years old.
