Criminal case for growing cannabis

The problem of drugs in the modern world does not lose its relevance. Current Ukrainian legislation provides for fairly severe penalties associated with the manufacture and sale of narcotic drugs. In this article we will consider the features of criminal cases for growing cannabis. Responsibility for these illegal actions is provided for by Article 310 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

The elements of the crime under the article on the cultivation of cannabis

First of all, let us note that cannabis is a plant that contains psychotropic and narcotic substances.

The object of the crime under Article 310 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is the specific procedure for cultivating cannabis. The subject of illegal activity is not finished narcotic substances, but plants that contain narcotic substances. In addition to cannabis, this can be, for example, a sleeping poppy. The objective side of the criminal act is the illegal cultivation (cultivation) of cannabis.

Liability provided for under Article 310 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:

As the practical component of the activities of the lawyers of our law office Prykhodko and Partners shows, in most cases, the actions of a person who grew cannabis for the purpose of sale, but did not have time to sell it, are interpreted as "production for the purpose of sale of drugs". In such a case, the crime will be characterized as completed.

If there was no purpose of selling narcotic drugs, criminal liability will apply only to the cultivation of cannabis. That is, in the process of qualifying criminal acts, the composition and signs of the crime are carefully determined.

Persons who were 16 years old at the time of committing criminal acts may be held criminally liable under Article 310 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
