By reforming article 355 of the Penal Code, the National Assembly of Nicarragua has included offences that cover the promotion and encouragement of drug use.

For example, using clothing to exhibit drugs or producing music with lyrics that encourage use or incite use could get you into big trouble, like 5-10 years prison.

Other areas beefed up by the change in legislation are offering or giving drugs,
(Supplying), also 5-10 years.

Transportation could get you more, 5-15 years.

“Simple possession” of smaller amounts, for personal use can still get you 2-8 years of prison.
