According to Archil Gorduladze, an MP from "Georgian Dream" and Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Legal Affairs, active consultations are ongoing regarding the treatment methods for individuals struggling with drug addiction, including the possibility of forced treatment.

During a committee session, Gorduladze stated that public inquiries on this issue have increased significantly, both in writing and through other means.

"During the first and second readings of the legislative package, we will clarify the treatment methods to help individuals combat the severe condition of drug addiction. Our approach is twofold: on the one hand, we advocate for the strictest measures against drug dealers, and on the other hand, we aim to provide alternative solutions for those suffering from addiction," Gorduladze said.

For reference, the "Georgian Dream" legislative package—which proposes stricter penalties for offenses related to drugs, including cannabis and marijuana—has already passed its first reading in the Parliamentary Committee on Human Rights and Civil Integration.

The proposed changes affect eight different laws, including the Criminal Code, the Code of Administrative Offenses, the Law on Organized Crime and Racketeering, and others. As part of toughening drug policy, several new articles will be added to criminal legislation.
