+# Mozambique 1941: regulation text read, closed as reviewed
+
+Research checked on 26 October 2026. Read `DATA-MAINTENANCE.md` (triage and
+timeline rules), the 1914 and 1941 entries with the profile and timeline,
+the 1941 regulation text itself, and the 1957 UN Mozambique survey before
+editing. One open triage item closed with an `unscored` reason plus a
+source upgrade; no scores, profiles or other timelines changed.
+
+## What changed
+
+- `mozambique-pharmacy-regulations-1941` (1941-12-24, tightening):
+ `unscored` — absolute prohibition restates the 1914 colonial ban; no
+ segment-band movement is established against it, and the profile
+ reflects the later 1997 law. Description converted to a per-sentence
+ citation and the existing UN source gained a locator (Chapter V,
+ Article 59; Legislative Decree No. 775 of 24 December 1941).
+
+Triage now reports MZ at 0 open (1914 100→11, today 11).
+
+## Sources actually read
+
+- UN E/NL.1948/9 via documents.un.org (works; digitallibrary blocked):
+ "Regulations for the Practice of Pharmacy", adopted by Legislative
+ Decree No. 775 of 24 December 1941 — Chapter V, Article 59: importation,
+ cultivation, sale and consumption of Cannabis sativa (bange, suruma)
+ absolutely prohibited.
+- UN E/CN.7/286/Add.10 (1957 Mozambique survey) via documents.un.org:
+ p. 6 assumes (without confirming) that the legislation in force
+ prohibits cultivation, importation, sale and consumption — so the survey
+ does not resolve whether the 1914 order already covered consumption.
+
+## Why not scored
+
+Whether the 1914 Portaria covered consumption is unestablished from the
+recovered texts (the order itself and its full scope were not recovered;
+the 1957 survey only assumes the package). Without a consumption
+before-state, no scored step can be built; both instruments sit inside a
+total colonial prohibition with no demonstrated band-level change.
+
+## Validation and tree note
+
+- Chain `mz`: unchanged, 0 flagged steps.
+- `npm run history:test`: 40 pass, 0 fail. `npm run answers:test`: 40
+ pass, 0 fail. Production build: 4,361 pages, complete.
+- Commit stages only the 1941 hunk plus this note, via patch filtering.
+ Foreign work in the shared tree is excluded and preserved.
