Changelog 81635d1

Trafficking penalties of two to ten years expressly excluding simple users; cannabis possession, cultivation and sharing bands unchanged.
Raised Articles 95-103 trafficking and production penalties to ten to twenty years' forced labour; Article 109 personal-use bands untouched; cannabis bands unchanged.
Created the Code des drogues with cannabis personal possession and cultivation in Article 109 (two months to one year with possible exemption) — light-band recodification, no segment moves.
