history: Finland 1966 now rests on prosecutor guidance and read chapter
Replaces the Finnish Wikipedia citation with the Prosecutor General's VKS:2006:1 guidance (read via archive) for the 1966 first-criminalisation fact; the open-access Hakkarainen/Kainulainen chapter (read) now backs the 1971 vote detail too. Research note records the still-open 1966 decree number and the Uganda BFSP / Austria RIS dead ends.
Cannabis was banned in 1966, and parliament voted narrowly in 1971 to make personal use a crime as well.[@1,2] TheDrug use was first made punishable in Finland in 1966 ban came by decree; full drug control entered the criminal law only with the 1972 Narcotics Act.[@2,3]

+# Finland 1966: official guidance replaces Finnish Wikipedia; Uganda and Austria hunts stall
+
+Research checked on 27 October 2026. Read `DATA-MAINTENANCE.md`, the Finland
+entry, the Hakkarainen & Kainulainen 2021 chapter (downloaded open-access PDF,
+read the opening), and the Prosecutor General's VKS:2006:1 guidance (read via
+the archived page). No scores, profiles or other timelines changed.
+
+## What changed
+
+- `finland-ban-1966`: second sentence rewritten to state only what read
+ sources support (drug use first punishable 1966; full criminal-law control
+ with the 1972 Act). The open-access chapter now backs the 1971/1972 vote
+ detail too (92-80 defeat after lots). Finnish Wikipedia dropped; the
+ Prosecutor General's guidance is now the 1966 source.
+
+## Still open: the 1966 instrument's number
+
+Finnish Wikipedia asserts criminalisation "asetuksella" (by decree), but the
+decree number was not recovered: the relaunched Finlex serves only app shells
+(search, 1966 collection listing, ELI-style statute URLs all return JS
+shells), the German Suchtmittelgesetz article traces Austrian/Finnish law no
+earlier than later acts, and the police-history and prosecutor pages confirm
+only the year. Next leads: a pre-relaunch Finlex snapshot in the Wayback
+Machine, or the 1966 Suomen säädöskokoelma volume in print.
+
+## Dead ends recorded (no entry changes)
+
+- Uganda 1902: Wikipedia's ordinance claim cites *British and Foreign State
+ Papers* vol. 95 (1901-1902, publ. 1905), p. 928, with the opium definition
+ covering bhang, ganja, churus and chandoo natron. The volume was traced to
+ HathiTrust (hvd.hj131q) but full text is Cloudflare-gated; no Internet
+ Archive copy found under a matching identifier; Google Books API quota
+ exhausted; the OUP comparative-law article is paywalled; Wikisource has no
+ transcription. The BFSP vol.95 p.928 lead stands for a future hunt.
+- Austria 1928: RIS serves "Dokument nicht gefunden" for the 1946 ELI form and
+ PDFs hit bot checks; ALEX likewise gated; German Wikipedia's
+ Suchtmittelgesetz history starts with later acts. The entry's existing
+ honesty note ("domestic rules not read, size uncertain") stands.
+
+## Validation and tree note
+
+- Chain `fi`, `history:test`, `answers:test`, production build and the
+ rendered Finland history page to be run before commit.
+- Commit stages only this entry's hunk plus this note, via patch filtering
+ without stashing. Foreign work in the shared tree stays untouched.
