In just the past few months, a wave of specialty shops has cropped up along the Polish border, vending obscure, synthetic narcotics that aged legislation does not prohibit. With four such shops in the town of Český Těšín alone, the government fears an explosive problem on the horizon if the law is not amended to ban the new market, but passage through parliament is not a given as similar plans have failed before. Today I spoke with the government’s antidrug coordinator, Jindřich Vobořil, who explained why the problem has arisen so suddenly. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/spice.jpg?timestamp=1591266695 https://english.radio.cz/government-looks-stop-sale-new-unrestricted-drugs-poland-8566682 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
