+## Lead resolutions (27 October 2026, second pass)
+
+- Hirohito's 1947 Tochigi visit is now `japan-hirohito-hemp-assurance-1947`
+ (culture/hemp context: changed no law). Sourced from Stars and Stripes
+ "Reefer gladness" (Wayback 2022 capture, read in full: 1947 photo, "it is
+ said" assurance account, 25,000 pre-ban farms, licence costs and chemical
+ fibres) plus the audit-read Wikipedia. The Japan Times piece stays unread
+ behind paywall; the entry hedges with "its director says".
+- dappo-habu (2010s "loophole herb" driving incidents and crackdowns):
+ CLOSED as out of scope. Dappo habu is synthetic cannabinoids sprayed on
+ herbs; herbal cannabis was already banned since 1948, and no dappo measure
+ changed cannabis rules. No entry (cf. Cuba Dictamen 476 handling).

+# Portugal 1924/1926 — decree numbers recovered, texts still wanted
+
+## What changed
+
+`portugal-first-drug-law-1926`: dated to 1926-08-27, retitled (a 1924 law
+predates it), description now names Decree-Law 12,210 and the 40-year gap;
+EMCDDA profile added as a read second source.
+
+## Sources read
+
+- Wikipedia "Drug policy of Portugal" (fetched): first major drug laws 1924
+ (Law 1687, Congress of the Republic, 9 Dec 1924) and 1926 (Decree-Law
+ 12,210, Government of Portugal, 27 Aug 1926), both incorporating the
+ International Opium Convention. DRE reference URLs:
+ https://diariodarepublica.pt/dr/detalhe/lei/1687-1924-562193
+ https://diariodarepublica.pt/dr/detalhe/decreto/12210-1926-162653
+- EMCDDA, Drug policy profiles: Portugal (2011), pp.9-10 (mirror PDF read in
+ full): legislating since the 1920s adapting to the 1912 Convention (citing
+ Dias 2007; IDT 2011b), nothing for almost 40 years after, until the 1963
+ mental-health mention; 1970 Decree-Law 420/70 detail (use criminalised, up
+ to 2 years or PTE 5,000-50,000 fine; trafficking 2-8 years).
+
+## Dead ends (no entry changes)
+
+- DRE detail pages return JS shells; DRE API guesses return empty; no PDF
+ endpoint derivable without the Diário page numbers. The 1926 decree text
+ and the 1924 Law 1687 text remain unread.
+- SICAD "Histórico de 1924 a 1977" unreachable (TCP connect failure).
+- No web source found for the 1924/1926 texts via decree-number or
+ distinctive-phrase search.
+
+## Open
+
+- Whether Law 1687 (1924) covered cannabis at all: it implemented the 1912
+ Hague Convention, which did not cover Indian hemp (added 1925 Geneva), so
+ the 1926 decree likely remains the first cannabis restriction. Do NOT add a
+ 1924 entry until the text confirms cannabis coverage.
+- Dias (2007) thesis and IDT (2011b), cited by EMCDDA, may describe both
+ instruments.
