Cannabis and Drogotest fines resources

Administrative defense

In its article 10.1, the Spanish Constitution proclaims that the foundation of the political order and social peace lies, first of all, in the “dignity of the person”, in “the inviolable rights that are inherent” and in the right to free development of personality.

The current Spanish legal context in relation to the consumption, cultivation and supply of cannabis is determined by Law 17/1967, of April 8, whose scope and validity are in any case limited by respect for fundamental values and rights and public and individual liberties guaranteed by the Spanish Constitution of 1978.
Therefore, the prohibition of consumption and supply of narcotic drugs, which is established in the aforementioned pre-constitutional and obsolete law, should be understood only in force as regards the principles of suitability, proportionality and non-discrimination, by affecting the aforementioned Constitutional rights and principles, and can not be in any way absolute when it comes to a substance that does not cause serious harm to health, carried out freely and privately by persons of legal age, and must be understood as justified in terms of consumption led to carried out by vulnerable groups, such as therapeutic cannabis users, highlighting here the constitutional right to health (art.43 CE).

The current Spanish legal framework, although it does not consider the consumption of cannabis in the private sphere a crime, it does sanction it if it is carried out in public spaces, applying Organic Law 4/2015 on Citizen Security, the same happens with tenure for self-consumption, clashing outright with the individual rights and freedoms enshrined in the Spanish Constitution that we mentioned before.
For all this, and for our accumulated experience in the associative and activist world, at Brotsanbert we resort, from rigor and professionalism, to administrative penalties for cannabis use or possession, since we understand that the vast majority of them are unfair and disproportionate , and go against the public and individual rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Spanish Constitution.

2.- Presenting allegations to the initiation agreement, bearing in mind the importance of knowing the date of notification of the initiation agreement to be able to present allegations in the correct period.
3.- Reduced payment, renouncing the presentation of administrative claims, and resorting directly to the contentious-administrative proceedings within two months from the payment of the reduced amount of the sanction.

It is important to wait for a notification letter, this letter will confirm the positive presence of cannabis in the body. It is essential to note the date of receipt of that letter. From that day we have 20 calendar days (Sundays and holidays included) to make the decision that we consider most appropriate.

As we know, the penalty is € 1,000 and the withdrawal of 6 points from the driving license, and the options are as follows:
• Reduced payment of € 500 in the first 20 days from the notification of the confirmation of the sanction. This means losing 6 points and giving up resorting to the administrative channel, there being the possibility in that case of resorting to the contentious-administrative channel within two months of the payment of the penalty with reduction.
• Appeal the sanction, and must indicate, in any case, the date of notification.
