“Existing
drug
policy
is
oriented
on
punishment
of
people
who
use
drugs
rather
than
their
support
and
social
reintegration.
This
further
intensifies
the
problem
and
negative
consequences
caused
by
it”
–
this
was
one
of
the
main
reasons
that
“Georgian
Network
of
People
using
Drugs“
on
November
24
2013
organized
a
protest
action
against
“Street
Drug
Testing”.
The
protest
action
with
the
drug
testing
improvisation
as
urinating
into
the
state
budget
was
held
in
front
of
Ministry
of
Internal
Affairs
(police)
building.
This
protest
action
as
an
event
was
also
created
on facebook
by
Giorgi
Gogua:
“Based
on
repressive
drug
legislation,
for
the
past
decades
Ministry
of
Internal
Affairs
(MIA)
have
been
implementing
punitive
approaches
towards
people
who
use
drugs
(PUDs),
which
deteriorated
their
health
conditions,
caused
severe
socio-economic
harms
to
their
families
and
caused
their
isolation,
further
aggravating
overall
situation.
