Libya treats drugs as a threat to the state

A 1994 amendment added an article declaring narcotics harmful to society and treating them 'in the same category as weapons of mass destruction'. It said dealing in drugs was like dealing with the enemy and against the safety of the homeland. Where drug dealing passed information to a foreign body, the case went to the people's prosecution under the security provisions of the Penal Code.[1]
