Regulatory Framework in Greece
Legal Framework
Greece regulates controlled substances under Law 4139/2013 (Greek Drug Law) and Presidential Decree 114/2013, which transpose EU directives and establish national controlled substance schedules. The National Organization for Medicines (EOF) maintains updated lists of controlled psychotropic substances and precursors.
Scheduling History
Greek drug policy has modernized significantly in recent decades, with comprehensive reforms in 2013 updating the legislative framework. Greece participates in EU monitoring systems and implements EU-wide controls while conducting national risk assessments. The country has been particularly vigilant regarding substances entering through Mediterranean shipping routes.
Research Exceptions
Research on controlled substances in Greece requires authorization from EOF and compliance with Ministry of Health regulations. Academic and pharmaceutical research institutions must demonstrate scientific legitimacy and maintain documentation meeting EU and Greek standards. Greece has established procedures for research authorization, though bureaucratic processes can be lengthy.
Penalties & Enforcement
Greek penalties for drug offenses vary by substance classification and offense severity. Trafficking in narcotic drugs can result in life imprisonment for large-scale operations, with typical sentences ranging from 8-20 years for serious cases. Personal possession is treated more leniently following 2013 reforms. Greece distinguishes between commercial distribution and individual possession in sentencing.
Recent Legislative Changes
Recent Greek regulatory focus has included synthetic cannabinoids arriving through ports, novel stimulants, and benzodiazepine analogs. The country has strengthened cooperation with EU agencies and neighboring states on drug monitoring. EOF publishes regular updates on scheduling decisions and substances under evaluation.
