[quote:Tamonten:MV8yOTE5MjMyXzU2NDAzMDU3XzYxM0I3QUVE] [quote:nocty:MV8yOTE5MjMyXzU2NDAyNzY0XzZFRUMwOTc0] how are the laws towards marijuana? penaltys and such? and is there any progress in regards to that? [/quote] Nah, still illegal here. And not likely to be legalized. As for penalties... Did not encounter any of that in my life, so I've now looking at the criminal code as I write this answer. http://www.narkotiki.ru/5_205.htm [i]CC 151: Involving a minor into anti-social activities (such as alcoholism, drug addiction, begging etc.) by an adult - 180-240 hours of forced labor OR 1-2 years corrective labor OR 3-6 years of arrest OR up to 4 years of imprisonment. The same thing done by teacher, parent or another educator - up to 3 years of custodial restraint OR 4-6 months of arrest OR up to 5 years of imprisonment - WITH a prohibition to be employed as a teacher etc for up to 3 years - or without it. The same thing done using violence or treats of violence - up to 6 years of imprisonment. CC 188: Contraband of prohibited goods - 3-7 years of imprisonment - WITH a fine of up to 1000000 rubles OR in the size of up to 5 years of income - or without it. The same thing done by the official or by treating or attacking official - 5-10 years of imprisonment - WITH a fine of up to 1000000 rubles, or in the size of up to 5 years of income - or without it. The same thing done by the organized group of people - 7-12 years of imprisonment - WITH a fine of up to 1000000 rubles OR in the size of up to 5 years of income - or without it. CC 228: illegal buying, selling, keeping, transporting, manufacturing or processing of illegal narcotic drugs - fine of up to 40000 rubles OR in the size of up to 3 months of income OR up to 2 years of corrective labor OR up to 3 years of imprisonment. The same thing in a very big scale - 3-6 years of imprisonment - WITH a fine of up to 500000 rubles, or in the size of up to 3 years of income - or without it.[/i] I'm too lazy to translate the rest of it, but you can see the gist I think.

I’m on GLP for more than a year and quite tired of a bunch of popular misconceptions and myths you people have about my country. That’s aside from clear propaganda and some trolls (or shills – whatever).
So, I’m willing to answer some questions regarding my country to have a page to where direct all the recurring rubbish I encounter here.
As a short summary – I studied history (mostly Japanese though) in university-level college. Before that I was interested in programming. So, I can answer quite a wide variety of questions. Don’t expect however me having a lot of “special” knowledge. There is some of that too, but quite outdated and not that interesting.
BTW, I’m not tolerant at all. I’ll block for excessive swearing and trolling without any hesitation. I’ll answer any questions I can - even if I don’t like them - as long as they are asked politely. Don’t expect to like all of the answers though.
