This pattern persists across Central and Eastern Europe, where governments have also opted to imprison drug users. In Hungary, for example, the penal code calls for two years imprisonment for personal possession by a drug-dependent person.
中东欧国家几乎都采用这种模式，这些国家的政府不约而同地选择囚禁吸毒者。比如在匈牙利，刑法规定瘾君子私人藏毒须处以两年监禁。而在临近的斯洛伐克，个人藏毒的刑罚与波兰一样，最高可处以三年徒刑。
