Italy names Indian hemp on its list of controlled drugs

description

The regulations for the new drug law put Indian hemp and its alcohol-and-water extract in Table A of controlled drugs, as items 13 and 14; imports were sampled at the border at fifty grams for Indian hemp.[@1] Anyone who wanted to hold them for sale or to give to others now needed a permit from the … pharmacies were exempt. The rules came into force on 23 December 1923 (Royal Decree 2534).[@1,2] The regulation's preamble invokes the 1912 Hague Opium Convention alongside the February law, placing the hemp listing inside Italy's treaty obligations.[@1]

+# Research pass: Italy 1923 — no new article, entry enriched, collision avoided
+
+Research checked on 26 October 2026. The Italy 1923 backlog item did NOT
+produce a new article: `articles/italy-first-drug-law-1923.md` already exists
+(committed 20 October, same Gazzetta + Normattiva sources, thorough coverage
+of Articles 1, 8, 10, 12 and the regulation). My draft overwrote it and was
+reverted unread-eyed: after diffing, the existing version was kept verbatim.
+
+## What was still new (verified, committed to the entry)
+
+Reading the two Gazzetta PDFs in full turned up material the existing
+article and entry do not state, now added to
+`italy-indian-hemp-schedule-1923` with per-sentence citations:
+
+- Law 396/1923 itself (GU no. 53): no Hague Convention reference anywhere
+  in the text (searched) — the February law is a domestic public-order
+  measure, not treaty implementation. Penalty detail confirmed: professionals
+  suspended 3–6 months, recidivists 3–9 months plus 2,000–6,000 lire,
+  public-office disqualification of 1–5 years possible, sales to minors
+  uplifted by a quarter to a half, doctors/pharmacists fined 2,000–5,000
+  lire; ministers' signatures include Mussolini's.
+- Regulation RD 2534/1923 (GU no. 288): preamble cites BOTH Law 396 and the
+  1912 Hague Opium Convention (authorised by RDL 9 February 1922, n. 335) —
+  the hemp listing sits inside Italy's treaty obligations. Table A items 13
+  (canape, cannabis sativa var. indica) and 14 (hydroalcoholic extract of
+  Indian hemp); Article 10 import sampling at fifty grams for Indian hemp.
+- Normattiva (read): Law 396 in force 20 March 1923.
+
+Entry gains the item numbers, the sampling detail and the Hague-preamble
+sentence; source locator widened to preamble + Article 10. No scores,
+profiles or timelines changed.
+
+## Lesson (process)
+
+Always list `articles/` for the entry id before drafting — the backlog
+tracks entries without articles, but a file can exist while the entry still
+ranks (e.g. written Oct 20, entry untouched since). Diff before overwriting.
+Reverted with `git checkout --` before any commit, so no foreign content
+was staged or lost.
+
+## Tree note
+
+Staged only my schedule-entry hunk plus this note; committed with a bare
+`git commit`. The existing Italy article was left byte-identical.
