This paper gives a review of criminal offenses of drug abuse in the Republic of Croatia, and with certain concepts it presents the standpoints of legal theory and jurisprudence. As a criminal response to drug abuse, the legislator prescribed criminal offenses: unauthorized drug production and trafficking and enabling drug consumption. In addition to basic criminal offenses, qualified forms of these offenses are also prescribed, for which stricter prison sentences are prescribed. The confiscation of drugs, substances for their preparation, as well as the means for their production or consumption is prescribed as obligatory. Perpetrators of drug abuse offenses may be released from punishment if they have significantly contributed to the detection of such an offense. The authors’ proposal is that possession of drugs for personal use, which is prescribed by the current law as a misdemeanor, should be prescribed as a criminal offense if the perpetrator is found in such possession again after several convictions in misdemeanor proceedings, and that the production and processing of drugs for personal use needs, which are now prescribed as a criminal offense, should be prescribed as a misdemeanor.
