Illegal drug sale in Vienna: politicians are demanding strict measures!

Wien, Österreich - In Vienna there is the excitement about legal drugs that can be obtained from machines. Recently, a control of the market office, during a meeting with the ÖVP politician Laura Sachlehner and Martina Hammerer, led to the immediate removal of the dangerous LSA products from a machine. „Es ist gut zu sehen, dass das Marktamt so schnell reagiert hat“, lobte die VP-Gemeinderätin Sachslehner, wie Heute.at berichtete. The politicians are now calling for comprehensive legal regulations to completely remove such products from the trade.

The politicians mentioned that the LSA substances are often used by young consumers and called on the Ministry of Health to take measures. Sachlehner emphasized that drug use in Vienna has been increasing for years, especially among young people, and that 50 percent of all drug users in Austria are already living in the federal capital. "A ban on LSA is essential to stop such developments," she said. According to Sachlehner, it is important to control CBD shops more strictly because a large part of these substances were sold there.

The Ministry of Health, on the other hand, sees a challenge not to classify LSA as an addictive substance and instead refers to prevention and clarification as the main approach. "A sustainable drug policy must represent the dangers and effects of all drugs transparently," said the ministry what the ÖVP politicians clearly rejected. According to the measures of the market office, it is now due to the Minister of Health Johannes Rauch to introduce more stringent regulations.

LAURA Sachlehner, who has been active for the ÖVP in the Vienna State Parliament since November 2020, has also emphasized the role of asylum seekers in the political discussion in the past and has spoken out for a reassessment of collaborations. As reports wikipedia , she has held several key positions in her political career and now demands clear measures to combat drug use among young people. Their determination is reflected in the current developments that underline an immediate need for action.
