Additional offences of 'seducing another person to narcotic drugs', punishable by up to five years' imprisonment, and the theft of narcotics, punishable by between five to fifteen years' imprisonment, were also created. The term 'narcotics' used here referred to all drugs listed by UN Conventions, not just opiates.

As I said it was a strict time. However Russia is not Soviet Union and those laws do not work anymore. Why don't you post the Nazi German laws or the American segregation rules of the 20th century? As I said above, in Soviet Union everything was punishable and even then the number of prisoners was less than the United States have today. How come?

Yes it's illegal to sell you narcotics, slaves etc. Sorry, but it's 21th century. Drug and human trafficking are not allowed in my country. Maybe they are allowed in the UK... Try them there then come here and tell us about your achievements ;)
