Possession of up to 15 grams (half an ounce) of marijuana or 1.5 grams of heroin is not a criminal offense in the Czech Republic from January 1, Czech media said.

Possession of up to 15 grams (half an ounce) of marijuana or 1.5 grams of heroin is not a criminal offense in the Czech Republic from January 1, Czech media said.

In December the government clarified the amounts of drugs which would be considered illegal, because earlier regulations did not specify the quantity entailing criminal persecution.

The new regulations also state that possessing 5 grams of hashish or 1 g of cocaine would not be criminally punished.
