Greece establishes KETHEA within a major drug-law reform

Law 1729/1987 reformed Greece's drug legislation, distinguishing dependent from non-dependent offenders in drug-use and trafficking cases. It also created KETHEA, the Therapy Center for Dependent Individuals, as a central treatment and rehabilitation institution. This was a reform of the wider drug-control and treatment framework, not medical access to cannabis or decriminalisation of personal cannabis use.[1]
