From the end of this week, the Ministry of Justice will tighten the ban on more than 100 chemicals that are used in the production of illegal drugs such as speed, crystal meth and ecstasy.
At this point, prosecutors must prove that people caught possessing banned substances, such as BMK and PMK, knew they could be used to make synthetic drugs. drugs to make.
Absolute ban on drug chemicals
Justice Minister Dilan Yesilgöz said an absolute ban on possession would close a loophole and help the fight against gang-related violence. Drug laboratories are often located on farmland and in locations where owners can plausibly store chemicals for purposes unrelated to drug production.
“Shed and storage facility owners are often under pressure to set up drug labs. Our environment is seriously polluted by the dumping of chemical waste and murders are taking place in the streets,” says Yesilgöz. The ministry has revised the list of banned substances after consultation with the police, chemists and the National Forensic Institute. The list includes chemicals known to be used in the production of synthetic drugs that have no legal application.
