The purpose of the work is to develop proposals for optimizing measures aimed at preventing the spread and popularization of the use of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances on the territory of the Russian Federation. The methodological basis of the study was the logical, dialectical method, the method of theoretical forecasting and theoretical research. Conclusions: the authors come to the conclusion that it is necessary to expand the concept of ‘propaganda’ of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. It is proposed to amend the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses and the Federal Law ‘On Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances’ in order to determine the illegal nature of covert propaganda and advertising of the use and distribution of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. The scientific and practical significance of the work lies in substantiating the need for reforms of the current institutional and legal framework, as well as improving forms of counteraction to criminal groups specializing in the production and sale of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances.
