– First drug possession<\/strong>, if the authorities confiscated cannabis to a person, or any type of drug, the law punished with imprisonment ranging from 1 to 6 years<\/strong>. Although, if it is found that the drugs are for personal use, it is less restrictive but the accused will also spend time in jail, in this case the term of imprisonment ranges from month to two years in prison.<\/p>\n

– The second criminal concept which foresees the Argentina legislation is drug trafficking<\/strong> (or trade with these substances) in this case is punishable with imprisonment for 4-15 years<\/strong>. If it is found that traffic has been occasional, free of charge, provided they are stated unequivocally that it is for personal use, it will be 6 months to 3 years.<\/p>\n

– Third is drug smuggling<\/strong> (import, export and customs control concealment) is punishable by prison sentences of 4 and a half years to 16 years<\/strong>. If it is proven unequivocally that are for personal use, the penalty is from 3 to 12 years.<\/p>\n

We must also add that, in addition to these custodial sentences, there are fines of 60 euros for drug possession, and included 60 to 5,000 euros for drug trafficking marijuana.<\/strong><\/p>\n
