The topic of the final paper is the misdemeanor legal suppression of drug abuse in Republic of Croatia. The aim of final paper is to achieve an approach which is as comprehensive as possible, starting from the principled considerations to component parts and its significant characteristics. Above all, the implementation of drug abuse policy requires an equable, functional and multidisciplinary approach, meaning that the synergy of all state administration bodies engaged in the fight against addiction is implemented and coordinated in the implementation of drug abuse activities. The paper begins with the historical development of drug abuse which describes the beginning of consumption and the most common types of substances that have been consumed throughout history. After that, you can find the data about use of narcotics among certain groups, analyzed in detail and graphically represented. In parallel you will find ESPAD research about prevalence of the use of narcotics, in period from 2011 to 2021. The main part of this paper it´s presenting the problem of drug abuse in the Republic of Croatia and their tendency to combat it. And then in this aspect we come to the part where we need to distinguish the term misdemeanor from criminal offense, considering that consumers who use drugs only for personal use will not be sentenced to imprisonment, but this kind of act will remain in the segment of misdemeanors. Furthermore, due to the increasing occurrence of double incrimination, the principle Ne bis in idem in misdemeanor proceedings has been described with examples from case law that explains more closely the drug abuse procedure. The final parts of the paper are focusing on attempts to normalize druge use and how does impact of coronavirus increases the demand for drug use. We can notice that drug use is trying to move from the framework of illegality to new completely normal dimension, that over a period of time drug use would be viewed as one of many human needs. Maybe it will be the beginning of a new phase of the 21st century or just a failed attempt to normalize and a radical cessation of already started recreational drug consumption.
