Abstract
The article analyses the impact of axiological assumptions presented in a non-code legal act on the interpretation of the features of criminal provisions of the Act of 19 July 2005 on Contering Drug Addiction. Based on the provisions of the Act and historical interpretation, the author examines the most important criminal Articles – 62a, 70a and 72 – of the Act to find the legal norms. The norms presented in the Act on Counteracting Drug Addiction are compared with their practical application by prosecutors – who are key executors of the criminal provisions of the Act. The author indicates dysfunctional interpretations of the provisions of the Act as applied by prosecutors that can be contradictory to the expectations of legislators. The article points the causes of that situation as well as lex ferenda and lex lata solutions.
