Tightening 🇮🇱 Israel

Israel makes it a crime to induce minors to use drugs

Amid a moral panic over hashish spreading to middle-class youth after the 1967 war, the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance Amendment Law added a section criminalising anyone who directly or indirectly induced minors to use dangerous drugs. Its sponsor called for heavy, even exemplary, penalties.[1]
