Bahrain's 1973 replacement decree, +already a fully-cited entry, gains a properly-sourced article from the +decree text itself (UNODC SHERLOC English copy, 11 pp., read in +extracted text). No entries, scores, profiles or timelines changed. + +## What was verified (all sources actually read) + +- Decree-Law No. 4 of 1973 (SHERLOC PDF): Art. 23 supply offences + (unauthorised import/export; cultivation/production/manufacture for + trafficking; dealing; 10 years / 10,000 dinars); Art. 24 personal + possession (3 years / 3,000 dinars; hospital-confinement alternative at + court discretion or minister recommendation); Arts. 25–26 record and + regulatory offences (3 months / 500 dinars); hospital circulation under + ministerial decision; Art. 31 fees; Art. 32 (1959 ordinance and + amendments cancelled); Art. 33 (ministers implement; in force on + gazette publication); schedule (Cannabis (Indian Hemp); cannabis resin); + signature Isa ben Salman Al Khalifa; Secretariat note E/NL.1959/52. +- New `articles/bahrain-decree-law-4-1973.md` (~330w body, 4 sections, + single law source). The entry `bahrain-decree-law-4-1973` is untouched: + its [@1,2]/[@1]/[@1,3] citations already cover the same facts including + the 1959 comparison. + +Claim boundaries: two mid-draft cuts — the "previous maximum was three +years" comparison and the forward link to the 1984/2007 laws belong to +the entry's other sources, not to the decree text read here, so neither +appears in the article. + +## Verification and files + +- No changes.yaml edit in this batch (article only); YAML untouched. +- `npm run build`, `npm run history:test`, `npm run answers:test` green; + rendered `/history/bahrain-decree-law-4-1973/` citation marks checked. +- Commit limited to own work: the new article and this note, via + pathspec. Foreign staged/worktree files excluded and preserved.
