Twelve received real prison terms, nine suspended sentences and four were sent for compulsory treatment; fines came to 2.45 million roubles. Police seized 598 cannabis roots, mostly South Krasnodar, and 547 opium poppy roots. Prosecutors said five plants and fifty plants both drew ten years and proposed changing the cabinet's threshold.[1]
