Good day! I am happy to help you understand this document.
1. **Essence of the law:** This order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine introduces changes to the list of sizes of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, and precursors that are in illegal circulation. The changes concern the clarification of small, large, and especially large sizes of these substances, which is important for the qualification of crimes and administrative offenses.
2. **Structure and main provisions:** The order consists of three main points, each of which approves changes to the corresponding tables of sizes of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, and precursors. Additionally, the order defines those responsible for state registration and publication of changes, and also establishes the date of entry into force. Table 1 “Small, large and especially large sizes of narcotic drugs that are in illegal circulation” adds new items, such as “Metonitazene”, “2-Methyl-AP-237”, “Etonitazepine”, “Protonitazene” and “Leaves (crushed or whole) of the Mitragyna speciosa plant (Kratom (kratom, ketum, biak)”. For each of these substances, clear limits are set for determining the size (small, large, especially large). Compared to previous versions, the order updates the list of substances and their sizes, taking into account the appearance of new narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances.
3. **Key points for use:** The most important is the updated list of sizes of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors. These changes directly affect the qualification of actions related to the illegal circulation of these substances, and are used by law enforcement agencies and courts when considering relevant cases.
