Legal Basis: Article 165 of the Polish Criminal Code
(Kodeks karny, Journal of Laws Dz.U. 1997, No. 88, item 553, as amended)Article 165 §1
“Whoever unlawfully produces, processes, imports, exports, transports, dispatches, purchases, sells, stores, or possesses narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances for the purpose of distribution shall be subject to imprisonment for a term of not less than 3 years.”This provision criminalizes any act related to the handling of controlled substances when intended for distribution—not merely personal use. The threshold of “not less than 3 years” reflects the seriousness with which Polish law treats drug trafficking.
Article 165 §2
The penalty is significantly aggravated—imprisonment for not less than 5 years, up to life imprisonment—if the offense involves any of the following circumstances:
- The act concerns a significant quantity of drugs;
- It is committed as part of an organized criminal group or criminal association;
- It involves minors (e.g., selling to persons under 18, using them in trafficking, or committing the offense in their presence);
- The offense is committed near schools, educational facilities, or places intended for minors;
- Violence, threats, or abuse of a position of authority is used.
Article 165 §3
Criminal liability also extends to attempted offenses and preparatory acts (e.g., acquiring materials or arranging logistics) when directed toward large-scale or aggravated trafficking.Source: Consolidated text of the Polish Criminal Code, Dz.U. 2024
