Russia considers jail time for drug talk

IT could soon become illegal to talk about recreational drugs in Russia, with offenders potentially facing two years in prison under proposed new laws.

RUSSIA'S parliament is considering legislation that would make talking about recreational drugs in public punishable by up to two years in prison.

THE draft legislation resembles the so-called gay propaganda law of 2013, in that it would effectively outlaw public discussions of the topic.
