Cannabis in Ukraine is illegal, but continues to be produced illicitly.
Production[edit]
Cannabis is often grown in small plantations, hidden amongst corn, in black soil suitable for cultivation which is found in the central and southern parts of the country.
Enforcement[edit]
According to Article 106-2 KUoAP, cultivation (without intent to sell) up to 10 cannabis plants qualifies as an administrative violation, with a fine of from 18 to 100 non-taxable income units (300-1700 hryvnia in 2011) and the seizure of plants.
The limit for possession without intent to sell, for which no criminal liability is given, is up to 5 grams of cannabis.[citation needed] However, there are plans to raise this limit to 10 grams.[1]
Reform[edit]
2016 protests[edit]
In October 2016, pro-cannabis protestors and anti-cannabis counter-protestors faced off in Mikhaylivska Square in Kiev. Police were forced to restrain some protestors from fighting each other.[2]
