+# Bermuda: medicines, decriminalisation, record clearing and blocked licensing
+
+Researched 22 October 2026 after the verified Guam batch. Bermuda had five history
+events and no articles. This pass adds seven tagged events and six articles, revises
+four events and updates the profile. Current writing rules and category priority were
+re-read before drafting. No subagents, commits or staging operations were used.
+
+## Primary legal texts read
+
+All local evidence is retained under `tmp/history-bermuda-gap-2026-10-22/`. The official
+Bermuda Laws site returns PDFs for its older `/Laws/...` URLs, even though its homepage
+is now a Blazor application. Those direct primary URLs were recovered and downloaded.
+No browser automation or undocumented app API was needed.
+
+- **2014 medicines law:** [Cannabinoid Pharmaceutical Products Act 2014](https://www.bermudalaws.bm/Laws/Annual%20Law/Acts/2014/Cannabinoid%20Pharmaceutical%20Products%20Act%202014),
+ four pages, full text read. Assent/operation **22 December 2014**. Section 2 adds
+ dronabinol/Marinol and nabiximols/Sativex to the pharmacy prescription schedule;
+ Section 4 lists these and nabilone/Cesamet in the drug regulations' medical schedule.
+ Sections 2–3 also alter scheduling powers, medical advice and medical-purpose
+ definitions; Section 5 revokes the former designation order. This is a verified
+ pharmaceutical route predating the existing November 2016 court event. It is not
+ evidence of unrestricted cannabis flower, oils, local growing or pharmacy stock on
+ commencement day. [Contemporary Senate reporting](https://www.royalgazette.com/other/news/article/20141215/cannabis-medicine-bill-passes-in-senate/)
+ was read for Michael Fahy's phased-reform explanation and Diallo Rabain's criticism
+ that the range excluded other products. These are attributed political positions,
+ not new medical efficacy findings.
+- **2017 decriminalisation:** [original amendment](https://www.bermudalaws.bm/Laws/Annual%20Law/Acts/2017/Misuse%20of%20Drugs%20%28Decriminalisation%20of%20Cannabis%29%20Amendment%20Act%202017),
+ two pages, full text read; second page rendered and visually checked. Assent and
+ operative date **20 December 2017**. Section 6(1) excludes cannabis at/below seven
+ grams from the possession prohibition, subject to prosecution where evidence shows
+ supply intent. Section 25A permits seizure of any amount and requires education/
+ treatment regulations, especially for minors. The act does not itself prove actual
+ programme delivery. Schedule 8 says **seven grams**, not strictly less than seven.
+ A parliamentary draft surfaced with a June commencement clause; it is not the final
+ enacted text and was not used to date the reform.
+- **2019 hemp law:** [original amendment](https://www.bermudalaws.bm/Laws/Annual%20Law/Acts/2019/Misuse%20of%20Drugs%20%28Hemp%29%20Amendment%20Act%202019),
+ two pages, full text read. Assent/operation **26 November 2019**. Cannabis definition
+ excludes hemp, resin and listed separated stalk/fibre/seed materials; hemp means
+ cannabis sativa or a part with **not more than 1% THC**, subject to a ministerial order
+ changing the concentration. Purpose explicitly concerns hemp imports, possession,
+ supply and sale. Do not infer an unlimited authorisation for all processed cannabinoid
+ products: resin and cannabinoids have separate controls. Current Section 11 still
+ refers to cultivation of **any plant of the genus Cannabis**, subject to regulations;
+ the hemp amendment did not rewrite that clause.
+- **2020 record-clearing law:** [as-enacted law](https://www.bermudalaws.bm/Laws/Annual%20Law/Acts/2020/Expungement%20of%20Convictions%20Act%202020),
+ seven pages, full substantive text read. Assented **5 August 2020**, operative
+ **11 March 2021**, not an immediate 2020 right. Sections 5–7 require an application
+ and ministerial decision, allow appropriate representatives for deceased or disabled
+ people, reasons within seven days of refusal and a 21-day Supreme Court appeal.
+ Section 8 governs future treatment as not having committed/been prosecuted/convicted/
+ sentenced and provides evidence, disclosure and employment protections. Section 4
+ preserves the validity of the original conviction/sentence and creates no new right
+ or liability: do not describe it as compensation, automatic release or blanket
+ reimbursement of penalties. Original Schedule covers qualifying simple-possession
+ conduct before **20 December 2017**. Contemporary commencement evidence explains
+ seven grams or less. The entry records 11 March legal commencement and expressly
+ says online applications launched the next day.
+- **2023 missing-weight amendment:** [BR 87/2023](https://bermudalaws.bm/Document/7385175a-cd33-4c0d-8fde-5063aa7bb39d),
+ two pages, full text read; page 1 rendered/visually checked. Made and operative
+ **3 November 2023**, not the earlier announcement date. New Section 6A treats a
+ relevant possession record omitting quantity as at/below the statutory threshold
+ where the conviction predates 20 December 2017 and the penalty did not exceed a
+ **$1,000 fine OR twelve months' conditional discharge**. It also expressly clears
+ additional sentencing elements with a qualifying conviction and deletes “simple”
+ from the Schedule. This is an application-based presumption, not an automatic
+ declaration that every old conviction is erased or an exemption for a known amount
+ exceeding seven grams.
+- **Consolidations:** downloaded [Misuse of Drugs Act 1972](https://www.bermudalaws.bm/Laws/Consolidated%20Law/1972/Misuse%20of%20Drugs%20Act%201972)
+ and [Expungement Act](https://www.bermudalaws.bm/Laws/Consolidated%20Law/2020/Expungement%20of%20Convictions%20Act%202020).
+ Read relevant definitions, Sections 4–12/25A, controlled-drug and seven-gram schedules,
+ amendment notes and the record-clearing provisions. Do not portray the current 1972
+ consolidation as the unamended 1972 law. Its note gives staged commencement between
+ 16 June and 8 September 1973; the as-enacted annual-law route returned 404. No invented
+ first ban or single commencement date is published from that consolidation.
+
+## Case, implementation and policy evidence
+
+The [2016 contemporary account](https://www.royalgazette.com/other/news/article/20161125/people-can-apply-for-medical-cannabis/)
+was read. It reports **9 November** hearing before judge Stephen Hellman in Michael
+Brangman's case, confirming the minister's power to consider a personal medical import/
+possession application, while retaining power to refuse. The article was published 25
+November. The original written judgment/order was not recovered: the government's
+2016 judgment index was downloaded and searched without a Brangman match. Do not
+claim the court enacted general medical legalisation or awarded a licence. The event
+is narrowed to the reported clarification and the original ministry power is separately
+supported by the drug law. It becomes `other`, tagged court/patients.
+
+[Prosecutors' 16 February 2017 release](https://www.gov.bm/news/formal-police-caution-simple-possession-cannabis-respect-offence-under-misuse-drugs-act)
+expressly publishes **draft** caution guidance and ties commencement to the criminal-
+procedure amendment. Under three grams, admission, no other drugs, first/second cautions,
+then counselling/assessment/testing on a third incident. The new event is `debate` on the
+publication date, not a false precisely dated commencement. The later [government fact
+sheet](https://www2.gov.bm/articles/public-awareness-fact-sheet) says the caution policy
+ceased to have effect. It supplies the remaining public/private consumption prohibition,
+seizure/search explanation and the historical fact that the 2017 law did not erase prior
+records. That last point is not repeated as a blanket account of today's law.
+
+[18 December 2019 consultation](https://www.gov.bm/news/minister-presents-medicinal-cannabis-bill-consultation)
+was read. Attorney-General Kathy Lynn Simmons proposed prescribed cannabis **for
+inhalation**, licensing local production/manufacturing and an authority. It expressly
+distinguishes the pharmaceutical products already available through existing laws.
+[26 February 2020 statement](https://www.gov.bm/news/minister-proposes-new-cannabis-reform)
+was downloaded/read: low consultation response, concerns about complexity/cost and
+requests for broader regulation led to an expanded plan for personal/commercial growing,
+retail and other activities. Both are `debate`, with no enacted local-growing or shop
+access inferred from a proposal.
+
+[12 March 2021 commencement/launch statement](https://www.gov.bm/news/ministerial-statement-expungement-convictions-act-2020)
+was read: law effective 11 March, online process 12 March; effects of discriminatory
+past enforcement, incomplete older records, and no guarantee that US authorities change
+their own immigration decisions. [Application guidance](https://www.gov.bm/online-services/cannabis-conviction-expungement-application)
+was also checked. No form was submitted or personal application data accessed.
+[29 September 2023 announcement](https://www.gov.bm/news/intention-make-expungement-convictions-criminal-records-regulations-2023)
+was read for the **roughly forty of fifty-one applications unprocessed**, not forty
+refusals. The legal amendment was still awaiting formal publication; the actual November
+regulation controls the event date. The minister described collaboration with police
+on a solution and additional penalty-zone elements; no number of successful later orders
+is invented.
+
+The governor's [May 2022 statement](https://www.gov.bm/print/html/node/1175236) records
+House approval **25 March, 18–6**, Senate tie/rejection **30 March**, and reserved assent.
+Its page/signature dates differ within May, so no separate exact-day May event is
+invented. The [UK statement](https://www.gov.uk/government/news/governor-of-bermuda-update-on-cannabis-licensing-bill)
+is dated **6 September**, published 7 September. Retain the statement date. Attribute the
+treaty-incompatibility conclusion to the UK; do not present the statement as a court
+judgment or an uncontested universal interpretation. The bill never became the licensed
+adult-use regime. The [23 July 2026 ministerial statement](https://www.gov.bm/news/advancing-public-safety-across-the-ministry-of-national-security)
+was re-read: Ryan Robinson Perinchief prioritised hemp and medical work, with drafting
+instructions and a Q4 target, while adult-use work would take longer. Rewrite the entry's
+old closing disclaimer into that substantive explanation; keep `debate` and add patients
+to its hemp tag. A target is not evidence of commencement.
+
+## Corrections and scoring boundaries
+
+The inherited **one-point medical-access step moves from the 2016 event to the 2014
+named-medicines law**. The latter takes the former's exact `before` vector; the 2016
+context event loses its vector. This is a correction to the timing/cause of an existing
+step, without a change in the current numeric ratings or total. The law expressly names
+permitted medicines and the later government medical proposal acknowledges existing
+pharmaceutical access. Do not infer universal availability, affordable prescriptions,
+actual stock on 22 December 2014, or the first discretionary medical licence ever.
+Earlier general ministerial powers and the wider historical medical baseline still merit
+research. Every other prior `before` vector is untouched.
+
+The current scores, recreational/medical status and dependency metadata are preserved,
+not certified afresh. The 1925 first-restriction estimate is unresolved. Mechanical
+score continuity does not verify a local prohibition based only on international-treaty
+dates, nor current prosecution frequencies. Expungement events are `easing`, tagged
+`amnesty`, and explicitly unscored because they concern historical records, with current
+offence/penalty bands unchanged. Hemp is `hemp`; proposals are `debate`; medicinal
+pharmaceutical permission is `medical`. All eleven added/revised entries have tags.
+
+The profile replaces “no medical cannabis law” with the actual 2014 prescription route,
+removes the unqualified claim that prior possession convictions stand, and describes the
+2021 application/2023 presumption. It removes the unsupported **2,000 g per patient per
+year** entitlement: the contemporary report discusses an import quota and pending
+commercial import application, not a verified statutory allowance for each patient. No
+new quota event is published without the primary instrument. It also replaces the
+unsupported claim that no clubs are known with the legal restrictions on collective

+# Bolivia: drug penalties, personal-use assessments and medical access
+
+Research and edits: 22 October 2026. Bolivia began this pass with nine history entries and no articles. Added four tagged entries, revised two existing tagged entries and wrote six articles (386–403 words, four sections each). Total project coverage after this pass: 2,818 events and 698 articles.
+
+## Sources read and retained
+
+Research files and baseline YAML copies are in `tmp/history-bolivia-gap-2026-10-22/`. Downloaded HTML was converted to searchable text. Relevant PDF pages were rendered for visual checks. Blank PDF text extraction was not treated as a successful reading.
+
+- [Law 171, 10 January 1962, Justia reproduction](https://docs.bolivia.justia.com/nacionales/leyes/ley-171-1960-1964.pdf): four-page reproduction, text read, first page visually inspected. Article 1 expressly includes Indian hemp and its preparations. Article 2 sets three to ten years **and** a fine for unlawful manufacture/trade/supply; article 3 sets three to five years for possession without justification of lawful origin. Article 11 requires institutional admission for misuse until recovery, with judicial review informed by psychiatric experts. Articles 5, 7–8 and 14 support the aggravations, medical reporting and fine assessment described in the article. Promulgation is 10 January 1962; the congressional date is 18 December 1961. The reprint contains stray markup and apparent transcription errors in unused clauses; historical monetary amounts are omitted. [Lexivox reproduction](https://www.lexivox.org/norms/BO-L-171.html) was also downloaded and read.
+- [Official DGSC text of Law 1008](https://www.dgsc.gob.bo/normativa/leyes/1008.html): relevant clauses and original annex read, cross-checked against [Justia PDF](https://docs.bolivia.justia.com/nacionales/leyes/ley-1008-1985-1989.pdf), whose PDF pages 9–10 were visually inspected. Articles 33(m), 34, 37, 46 and 48–51 support the cultivation, possession, treatment, trafficking and supply accounts. Article 48: ten to twenty-five years **and** a fine. Article 51: eight to twelve years **and** a fine, regardless of supply quantity. Article 49 includes both dependent and occasional consumers; two specialists assess the minimal personal amount. Above it, the trafficking offence applies. No fixed cannabis gram quantity appears there. Article 46 specifies one to two years, two to four for repeat offending; the position of its fine clause is not normalised into a general first-offence fine claim. Promulgation is 19 July 1988.
+- [Official DGSC implementing rules, Decree 22099](https://www.dgsc.gob.bo/normativa/decretos/DS22099-88.html): article 26 expressly defines immediate personal possession as equivalent to **48 hours of consumption**, assessed by the two medical experts. Above it trafficking is presumed. Header and closing formula both give **28 December 1988**. Lexivox wrappers for the decree/regulation incorrectly display 1998; use the official text. A separate 48-hour police rule elsewhere in the regulation must not be confused with this personal-use assessment.
+- [Official DGSC Law 913 PDF](https://www.dgsc.gob.bo/normativa/leyes/Ley913.pdf): relevant articles 1–8, 11–20, 26, 29–33, repeal clauses, cannabis listing and closing formula read. PDF pages 1 and 10 visually inspected. Article 18(II) requires registration and prior health-ministry authorisation for medicinal controlled substances in Lists I–IV; article 19 provides limited, exceptional scientific/medical research permissions to specified institutions; article 20 regulates authorised manufacture and prescription supply. Cannabis and resin remain in List I. The first repeal clause removes old article 33(a), (q), (r), articles 35, 36, 38–42, 44 and Titles VI–VIII, while retaining the relevant possession/trafficking/supply/cultivation offences. In particular, the old definition of production in article 33(r) must not remain presented as current law in the planting text. Promulgation is **16 March 2017**, despite the Lexivox wrapper displaying 23 March.
+- [Official DGSC Decree 3434 PDF](https://www.dgsc.gob.bo/normativa/decretos/DS-3434.PDF) and [Lexivox text dated 13 December 2017](https://www.lexivox.org/norms/BO-DS-N3434.html): general implementing regulation exists. Official scan begins at printed page 21 and has no extractable text; its first two PDF pages were visually read, including article 1's implementing scope. Lexivox's opening provisions/date were read. No claim that all cannabis-specific medical implementation was complete follows from this general regulation. Conversely, the old blanket statement that implementing rules were never issued is unsupported.
+- [Ombudsman report, 23 November 2021](https://www.defensoria.gob.bo/noticias/gestiones-defensoriales-posibilitan-que-el-estado-autorice-la-importacion-de-cannabis-medicinal-para-el-tratamiento-de-una-ninya): full substantive report read. It reports an AGEMED resolution authorising cannabis import exclusively for compassionate treatment of one child, under supervision by a doctor in Bolivia. Application was September 2020; changing requirements complicated it; ombudsman meetings and formal requests clarified them. **23 November is the report date**, not a verified resolution date. The original resolution/number, approved quantity and duration were not recovered. Do not call this the first-ever approval, infer three bottles or three months, name the child, or turn the report's patient-specific improvement claim into general medical advice.
+- [Chamber of Deputies medical cannabis bill, PL 376/2025–2026](https://diputados.gob.bo/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/PL-376-2025-2026.pdf): 20 scanned PDF pages; full Vision OCR retained. Page 1 visually confirms sponsor **Sandra Hinojosa Núñez**, letter dated 6 April and receipt dated **7 April 2026**. Operative bill is PDF pages 14–20; pages 2–13 contain explanatory arguments and foreign examples, not additional Bolivian permissions. Proposed articles cover ARCAME regulator, patient register, doctor registration, retained pharmacy prescriptions, cultivation/manufacturing/research/export-surplus licences and plant/batch tracking. The transitional clause would end prosecutions for proven medicinal cannabis-oil possession absent indications of illicit commercialisation. Proposed clinical-protocol duties and state-production priorities are attributed to the bill, not asserted as medical efficacy or existing availability. Page 18 was also visually inspected. No operative home-grow or club permission was found; foreign club examples in the background are not treated as one.
+- [Chamber's pending-bills index](https://diputados.gob.bo/proyectos-de-ley-en-tratamiento/): checked 22 October 2026, still lists PL 376 in “Proyecto de Ley en Tratamiento”. All proposed institutions and permissions are conditional in the article. No enacted programme or actual pharmacy sales inferred.

+## Classification, scores and profile corrections
+
+New events: `bolivia-narcotics-law-1962` (`other`), `bolivia-personal-use-assessment-1988` (`other`), `bolivia-child-compassionate-import-2021` (`medical`, explicitly unscored), `bolivia-medical-access-bill-2026` (`debate`). Each has topical tags. Existing `bolivia-law-1008-1988` was rewritten and changed from `tightening` to `other`; `bolivia-ley-913-2017` remains `other` with a substantive description and tags.
+
+The pre-1962 criminal baseline is incomplete, so 1962 is not labelled the first ban or given an invented before vector. The immediate pre-1988 penalties have not been recovered, while compulsory treatment demonstrably existed in 1962; a blanket new-tightening claim is therefore removed. The December regulation clarifies the quantity rule without a demonstrated uniformly harsher or milder effect. The 2017 law combines investigative powers, administrative restructuring, treatment and medicinal authorisations; it remains a mixed reform under the writing-category rules. The pending bill is `debate` despite its proposed medical and amnesty provisions.
+
+All six numerical current scores and all existing before vectors are preserved. Bolivia's estimated first restriction and its 1925–1950 window are unchanged: a read 1962 law does not disprove earlier restrictions. Medical status remains `none` pending evidence of currently available access in 2026; the context now expressly records the positive historical individual approval and statutory permission routes. The 2021 event's `unscored` reason explains that limited evidence. A durable current application route, active permissions or programme could justify revisiting the medical flag and access score together.
+
+Profile corrections include the separate supply penalty, the two-day medical quantity assessment, mandatory fines alongside trafficking imprisonment, actual controlled-medicine authorisation rules and removal of unsupported claims that there was no licensed production, no legal products, no implementing rules, several verified individual approvals or a verified absence of clubs. Unsupported current enforcement-frequency and pretrial-detention assertions have been replaced with the primary legal presumption, without changing the enforcement score. The independently researched driving, seizure and arrest blocks retain exactly the same parsed content; planting/trade, club and visitor statuses are preserved.
+
+## Unresolved leads
+
+- Full companion law promulgated by Decree 11245 of 20 December 1973 remains unread. Infoleyes' two-article decree merely adopts the separately published law. The UN record E/NL.1975/10-11 was identified but PDF downloads/API attempts failed or returned an HTML shell. No cannabis penalties were reconstructed from that unread annex. Intervening laws before 1988 also need primary recovery; 1988 is not described as directly replacing 1962.
+- UN 1962 and 1958 legislative reports were located but access returned HTML shells. The 1962 article relies on the actually read statutory reproductions, not a claimed reading of those UN files.
+- The 2017 criminal code was repealed in January 2018 before its delayed operation. Its drug quantities must not be presented as current personal-use thresholds. Texts of Laws 1005 and 1027 were downloaded as leads; no entry was added for an operative change.
+- A May 2021 Los Tiempos report mentions a child and an earlier positive government response. It was not merged with the November official account into a single case chronology, nor used to claim an additional verified approval. Obtain original AGEMED decisions to resolve this.
+- The 2026 bill's explanatory claims about efficacy, economics and other countries require independent checking before reuse. They are not treated as facts here.

+ manufacture/export: 10–15 years AND up to 1 million, doubled for organised groups.
+ Facilitating use: 1–5 years AND 50,000–1 million; group penalties doubled; under-18
+ use/supply 10–20 years. Article 497 requires additional supervision for consumption.
+- [Original Official Bulletin 12TER/2017](https://amategeko.gov.bi/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/BOB_No12TER-2017.pdf):
+ replaces the profile's partial reprint citation. Read Articles 78–81, 505–513 and
+ 647–648, including signature. Printed p. 2100 (PDF p. 70) was rendered and visually
+ checked. Signed by Pierre Nkurunziza on 29 December; Article 648 makes promulgation
+ the commencement trigger. The central narcotics tariffs and compulsory supervision
+ match 2009, with renumbering. No new overall legal direction is assigned to this code.
+
+**Important correction:** the general regulatory offence (2017 Article 507) has the
+100,000–250,000-franc fine; the specific possession/consumption clause (Article 510) has
+**50,000–100,000 francs**. Both allow a fine alone or prison alone, as well as both. The old
+profile applied the general fine to possession/use and claimed no heavier trafficking tier
+had been found. Article 508 expressly supplies a 10–15-year production/import/manufacture/
+export tier. Facilitation under Article 509 includes unpaid help. Its wording uses prison
+AND fine, without the express fine-alone alternative in Article 510.
+
+The code separates cultivation's prohibition, the general regulatory offence and illicit
+production without defining their boundary for a few home plants in these articles. The
+profile describes both penalty clauses and does not promise a fine-only outcome for home
+growing. No verified gram/plant threshold is added.
+
+## Assistance and the Mainline briefing
+
+[Mainline's PDF](https://mainline.nl/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Burundi.pdf) was downloaded
+and the Context, Policies, Peer Involvement, Human Rights and Prison sections were read.
+Its own key-informant interviews describe rarely implemented supervision, institutional
+capacity shortages, stigma, fear of arrest and BAPUD advocacy. Those are explicitly
+attributed accounts covering people who use drugs generally, not a national cannabis-only
+enforcement survey. The briefing describes a 2020 ANSS partnership; no separate event is
+added for it without checking its original dated record.
+
+The briefing combines older research/interviews (including a meeting still described as
+expected in February 2022) with updates through mid-2025. The old entry's August date
+came from the hosting path; the document has no explicit August publication date. Reduce
+the entry's date to **2025**, retain its stable ID, and use the current `debate` category
+for a policy report. Avoid treating every statement as a fresh 2025 observation or saying
+a second study occurred in 2019: its discussion of 127 participants refers to the earlier
+2017 assessment and its later publication.
+
+The briefing says the code does not provide therapeutic injunctions. **Articles 79 of
+both codes expressly allow a treatment order after medical assessment**, backed by
+imprisonment for refusal. The legal account therefore follows the statutes and uses the
+interviews only for implementation. This is additional supervision after conviction,
+not a verified dismissal/diversion route or medical-cannabis permission.
+
+## Leads and remaining uncertainty
+
+- The 1981 repeal clause names a 22 January 1903 smoking-hemp ordinance. Its original
+ text and the instrument extending it to Burundi have not been recovered. Do not
+ substitute the Belgian Congo's enactment date for Burundi's first restriction. Preserve
+ the inherited 1900–1920 estimate and its `before` vector; neither is newly validated.
+- The ministry's 2017 study was partly readable through the web tool, including its
+ cover (June 2017), methods and executive summary. Direct PDF downloads from the
+ health ministry timed out; a discovered OSC-CARE mirror failed DNS. Share-Net's
+ resource listing downloaded, but the original report was not recovered there. No
+ separate study event, new survey statistics or claims of complete reading are published.
+ Retain this lead for later research:
+ https://minisante.gov.bi/wp-content/uploads/pnls/Evaluation%20rapide%20sur%20les%20UDI%202017.pdf
+- Mainline and the health-study preview identify a narcotics classification order of
+ 26 May 1989. The full order was not read. Do not invent seed exclusions, clone rules,
+ hemp thresholds or a new scheduling event from this citation alone.
+- Ministry of Interior pages on seizures timed out in this pass. No single seizure or
+ case is published from a search excerpt.
+- Remove the optional planting and clubs blocks: their categorical claims depended on
+ an unread drug definition or an unsupported absence claim. Describe confiscation in
+ the consequences block directly from the code. Other inherited context, recreational/
+ medical statuses and all six numeric scores are preserved, **not newly validated**.
+ Fine-only statutory discretion does not establish how often cannabis users receive
+ fines, nor do general drug interviews establish cannabis-specific imprisonment rates.
+ This remains score-review work, especially cultivation, sharing and consumption.
+
+## Validation
+
+The isolated production build passed: **3,526 pages in 28.80 seconds**. All four articles
+have four sections and 350–500 words (393, 381, 382 and 384). Verification passed for
+categories, tags, related IDs, source keys, unchanged scores/statuses and every unrelated
+history record. The generated country timeline, history export, tag routes, article
+citations, headings and internal links passed. The Burundi score chain flags zero steps;
+this mechanical check does not validate its inherited numeric baseline.
+
+Totals are **2,783 events and 663 articles**, up from 660 articles. Scoped whitespace
+checks passed. The temporary `site` build directory was deleted after verification, and
+the audit found no remaining temporary site/build directories or generated history index
+files. Research files and the build log are retained in
+`tmp/history-burundi-gap-2026-10-21`.

+Research and edits: 21 October 2026. Re-read writing rules and current

+
+## Main correction
+
+The profile and article treated the published **2015 Penal Code** as
+current operative law. Two primary accounts directly undermine that:
+
+1. **Eritrea’s own November 2024 replies** to the UN Committee on the Rights
+ of the Child, **CRC/C/ERI/RQ/5-6**, paragraphs **40–41**: identifies TPCE
+ as the working law and says the 2015 Penal Code is not yet enforced.
+ Received **6 November**, distributed **11 November 2024**. Read the
+ document header and complete relevant paragraphs in OHCHR's HTML text;
+ downloaded the UTF-16 HTML and extracted it using the standard parser.
+ Do not mistake receipt for the date an earlier legal code commenced.
+2. **UN Special Rapporteur Mohamed Abdelsalam Babiker’s 2025 report**,
+ **A/HRC/59/24**, paragraph **36**, says the 2015 codes had not been brought
+ into force a decade later. Downloaded 19-page PDF, read the relevant
+ complete institutional-framework passage and visually checked **PDF /
+ printed p. 8**. This is a finding by the Rapporteur, not a commencement
+ instrument. It corroborates the government's explicit statement.
+
+Government reply:
+https://docstore.ohchr.org/SelfServices/FilesHandler.ashx?enc=sagHwNR7WH2SUzy8jYRuvr%2Bm%2B580wfdNJs9E8JkxsFMuEtz0tRzEp7cRskH%2FhvznPiY4LPnVlgu%2BBAN3x4VpGA%3D%3D
+Rapporteur report:
+https://www.ecoi.net/en/file/local/2126167/g2506895.pdf
+
+The stable UN document URL `https://docs.un.org/en/CRC/C/ERI/RQ/5-6`
+returned 403; cite the substantive OHCHR text actually read. No newer
+commencement instrument was recovered. A few recent secondary webpages
+and some subject-specific reports continue to cite the 2015 code as current;
+they cannot override the explicit status evidence without a later instrument.
+No current drug tariff is reconstructed from publication alone.
+
+## 2015 code: what was actually examined
+
+FAOLEX download failed in the shell, but the UNODC reproduction succeeded:
+**288 pages**, English Ministry of Justice edition. Read the foreword,
+Prelude, Articles **1–3**, the relevant definitions/trafficking provisions
+**376–381**, and the complete personal-use provisions **395–396**. Visually
+checked PDF **25**, printed **1**, which has both repeal language and
+**Article 3's Gazette-publication commencement condition**. No claim of
+reading all 288 pages is made.
+
+https://sherloc.unodc.org/cld/uploads/res/document/penal-code_html/PENAL_CODE_ERITREA.pdf
+Original profile's FAOLEX copy remains a preserved bibliography entry:
+https://faolex.fao.org/docs/pdf/eri210565.pdf
+
+Fawzia Hashim's foreword is dated **15 May 2015**. It describes international
+specialists and an Eritrean law-reform committee, followed by consultation
+with judges, prosecutors, attorneys, lecturers and police. Keep the event
+at **2015**, publication year; do not use the foreword date as proven Gazette
+commencement. The foreword/Prelude explains the intention to incorporate
+customary principles and respond to newer offences, including narcotics.
+
+The personal-use clauses specify **6–12 months OR 20,001–50,000 nakfa**;
+these are the **published replacement's** provisions, not established current
+penalties. Article 377 includes giving and transferring within trafficking;
+Article 381 excludes merely buying for own use from complicity. Article 376
+leaves controlled substances and quantity definitions to separate Drug
+Offences Regulations, which were not recovered. Neither statute page alone
+establishes the operative cannabis schedule. The revised history article
+reports the code's content and its delayed implementation together.
+
+NATLEX record **101051** was read: catalogues the English expression as an
+unofficial translation and explicitly records absence of confirmed Gazette
+publication as at **September 2017**. This corroborates the publication issue
+but does not itself establish the situation in 2026.
+https://natlex.ilo.org/dyn/natlex2/r/natlex/fe/details?p3_isn=101051
+
+## The Justice Ministry's download is the older code
+
+Read the ministry's laws page, followed its exact Penal Code link and
+retrieved the **295-page** document. It begins **The Penal Code of Ethiopia
+1957, Proclamation 158/1957**, not the 2015 text. The file name alone is
+ambiguous: local filename `ministry-code-2015.pdf` was the initial research
+label before the contents were checked and must not be read as its identity.
+
+https://mojeritrea.net/laws/
+https://mojeritrea.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Penal-Code.pdf
+
+Read the complete **Article 510**, visually checked **PDF pp. 164–165**.
+It covers unauthorised production/manufacture/transformation/import/export/
+transport/acquisition/receipt/storage/offering/distribution/procuring for
+another of poisons, drugs or narcotic substances. Its ordinary penalty is
+**simple imprisonment ≥3 months AND fine ≤20,000 historical dollars**;
+subsection 2 extends the same punishment to knowingly providing premises,
+even privately, for drug taking. Subsection 3 allows **rigorous imprisonment
+≤5 years AND fine ≤30,000 historical dollars** for organised/professional
+traffic or specified knowing supply/premises cases involving vulnerable
+people with the specified gain/improper-motive element. Article 105's
+ordinary simple-imprisonment range was also read. Do not invent current
+nakfa conversion or assume the original money amounts survive unchanged.
+
+The new 1991 article identifies that older text as the underlying system;
+it does not certify every current amendment or a modern cannabis-specific
+personal-possession tariff. It reports the prison minimum but omits old
+fine amounts and unsupported contemporary rates. The ministry's download
+is primary evidence of the text it publishes, not a complete modern
+consolidation or proof of every subsidiary control rule.
+
+## 1991 primary scan and numbering limit
+
+The ministry's page provides the exact **1991 proclamation 4** scan. Retrieved
+18 pages; native extraction generates malformed-stream errors and yields
+no useful legal text. Visually inspected cover **PDF p. 1**, dated
+15 [September] 1991, and final page **18**, an amendment page, with Tigrinya
+text. **No complete Tigrinya legal translation was performed.** The entry
+uses **1991**, not a day-specific commencement claim.
+
+https://mojeritrea.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/service-ll-lleritrea-eritrean-proc-4-1991-eritrean-proc-4-1991.pdf
+
+The English 2015 Prelude's number **3/1991** conflicts with the ministry's
+catalogue and the Law Library of Congress guide, which identifies the
+criminal transition as **4/1991** and civil procedure as **3/1991**. The LoC
+guide was found in indexed text, but the attempted download returned 403.
+Do not claim the guide's entire PDF was read. Avoid quoting a disputed
+proclamation number in the public story. The 1991 retention/amendment fact
+is independently described in the government's 2015 Prelude and its 2024
+working-law identification. The original amendment's treatment of Article
+510 remains a separate verification target.
+
+## Current profile correction and limits
+
+Removed current 2015-based penalty claims from all six segment explanations,
+including the supposed gift-equals-trafficking definition and the personal-use
+fine alternative. Replaced them with the working-law/status evidence, the
+older provision's actual verbs, and explicitly bounded uncertainty about
+current cannabis-specific tariffs and practice. The summary says the 2015
+penalties were awaiting enforcement in the dated official accounts.
+
+Read the complete **drugs section** of Canada's current Eritrea travel advice:
+warns of prison and heavy fines for illegal possession, use and trafficking.
+It supplies no cannabis-specific tariff and no frequency statistics. Also
+read Australia's corresponding section, which similarly warns of long prison
+sentences, but did not add it as a redundant citation. Do not import the
+separate general “serious crimes” death/corporal warning as a cannabis penalty.
+UK's current Eritrea safety page was read but contained no drug clause
+supporting a new drug claim.
+https://travel.gc.ca/destinations/eritrea
+https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/destinations/africa/eritrea
+
+Removed the optional **planting** and **clubs** classifications because their
+legal descriptions rested only on the uncommenced 2015 plant/supply rules.
+Other context statements from older secondary sources remain untouched and
+unverified by this batch. No medical programme, legal access, hemp exemption
+or lawful seed trade is inferred. Recreational/medical statuses and all six
+numerical scores are **preserved, not newly validated**. In particular,
+enforcement frequency, consumption's exact legal treatment and modern
+sharing classifications need a further scoring audit with operative laws
+and cases. No arbitrary replacement score or new historical step is invented.
+The estimated 1900–1920 first restriction remains inherited and unverified.

+# Fiji history gap — 22 October 2026
+
+## Result and boundaries
+
+Fiji began this pass with seven history entries and no articles. Added five entries and six articles: the 2004 drug law, the 2012 possession sentencing guidelines, the existing 2022 hemp amendment, the 2023 cultivation guidelines, a 2024 application reducing two sentences, and the signed October 2026 replacement drug law. All six new/revised entries have tags. Articles have four sections and 403–422 words.
+
+The current six numerical ratings, recreational/medical statuses and historical score vectors were preserved. This pass does not certify those ratings against a fully established October 2026 commencement position. The 1907 import-ban foundation and the 1938 entry were not revised. In particular, the existing 1907 date still needs comparison with the original ordinance rather than the publication date of a later legal review. No unsupported earlier score vector was invented.
+
+Read the current `docs/WRITING.md` and category rules. Single-case resentencing is `enforcement`; the 2012 non-custodial guideline is `easing`, explicitly unscored because a reliable earlier practice score was not established. The 2023 guidelines have mixed consequences: fewer-than-ten personal plants and a lesser role can attract a non-custodial/suspended sentence, while leaders in the largest band face a higher range than the older weight guideline. They are `other`. The 2004 and 2026 entries record signed legislation, with ministerial commencement clauses expressly identified; they do not date operative changes to the assent day. The 2026 mixed institutional/offence/diversion rewrite is `other`.
+
+## Primary records read
+
+### 2004 drug law
+
+Health Ministry PDF: <https://www.health.gov.fj/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Fiji-Illicit-Drug-Act-2004.pdf>.
+
+Downloaded `act-2004.pdf` and extracted text. Read the assent page, sections 1–5, 9–12, section 39 and the cannabis schedule entries; reviewed the arrangement for the investigation/search provisions used in the article and the relevant opening text. This is a selected-clause review, not a claim to have checked every investigation provision.
+
+- Assent **7 July 2004**; section 1(2) requires a ministerial Gazette commencement notice. The notice/date was not recovered. The new event says the law was signed and describes its terms conditionally where appropriate.
+- Sections 4 and 5 allow a maximum **FJ$1 million fine OR life imprisonment OR both**. Life is not mandatory. Section 5 expressly includes use and administration, not just possession. The profile's earlier claim that use was covered only through possession was corrected.
+- Supply includes giving, distribution, sale and offers. The statute gives possession and supply the same maximum. Seru paragraph 6 confirms that the earlier Sulua guideline had been applied across the listed verbs. Removed the profile's unsupported blanket assertion that the same bands always treated supply more seriously.
+- Section 11 exempts lawfully prescribed/supplied treatment and authorised professional activity. Its traveller clause covers up to one month's lawfully prescribed/supplied treatment for the person or someone in their care. This is statutory wording, not verification that any foreign cannabis prescription automatically satisfies Fiji's import/medicines requirements. No individual travel approval or operational patient programme was verified.
+- Section 39 replaces the corresponding parts of the old Dangerous Drugs Act, not necessarily that entire Act in 2004.
+
+### Possession guidelines dated 31 May 2012
+
+Original Sulua PacLII URLs were inaccessible (403 via local retrieval; unavailable in the browser search tool). They are **not** recorded as having been read. The accessible original **2023 Seru judgment** identifies Sulua v State [2012] FJCA 33 and its date at paragraph 6, describes the scope, and reproduces all four bands at paragraph 19. That later primary judicial record is the cited basis for the new 2012 entry and article.
+
+Bands reproduced in Seru: 0–100 g non-custodial, with suspended/short custody only in the worst cases; 100–1,000 g one to three years; 1,000–4,000 g three to seven; 4,000 g and above seven to fourteen. The source's boundaries overlap: no invented exclusive endpoint or automatic entitlement was added. The no-prison guideline is not decriminalisation. Removed a blanket statement that a conviction is always entered, since discharge with a warning is one of the stated outcomes. No account of Sulua's individual defendants or the original majority/dissent was published from unread secondary leads.
+
+### Cultivation judgment, 25 May 2023
+
+Original court PDF: <https://judiciary.gov.fj/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/25.05.2023_COA_Crim._AAU-115.2017_Jone-Seru-v-State_Judgment_Prematilaka-RJA.pdf>.
+
+Downloaded `seru-2023.pdf`, read paragraphs 1–56 and the relevant comparative passages; inspected rendered PDF pages 16–17, including the sentencing matrix on page 16. The appended case table was not independently verified case by case.
+
+- The Legal Aid Commission supplied 33 High Court examples. Paragraph 9 describes them as 2019–2022, but the appendix includes earlier sentencing dates. Published count only, with no invented uniform year range.
+- Weight of wet versus dried plants, roots and different judicial approaches drove the inconsistency. The judgment contrasts 196 plants/7 years 7 months with 46 plants/11 years 4½ months; these examples are attributed to the court's comparison, not independently re-researched convictions.
+- Plant categories: **100 or more; more than 50 but fewer than 100; 10–50; fewer than 10 for personal use without intended sale**. Leading/significant/lesser roles determine a second axis. Fewer than ten does not by itself guarantee a non-custodial outcome: that range belongs to the lesser-role cell.
+- The largest category/leading role has an **18-year starting point**, **16–20-year range**. Lesser role/smallest personal band runs from non-custodial to suspended sentence. These are guidelines with individual adjustments, not fixed statutory minima.
+- Seru grew 20 plants weighing 5.5 kg. His nine-year sentence stood. Paragraph 53 refers to an eight-year starting point although the table's corresponding cell says nine; the article does not repeat that discrepancy as a new rule.
+
+### Resentencing judgment, 30 May 2024
+
+Original court PDF: <https://judiciary.gov.fj/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/30.05.24-CA-Crim-AAU-0036.2017-AAU0093.2017-Kaoulia-and-Naqekeca-v.-The-State-Judgment.pdf>.
+
+Downloaded `kaoulia-2024.pdf`; read the opening facts, relevant conviction discussion and paragraphs 65–86/final orders. Inspected rendered PDF page 24. The heading spells the defendants **Waisake Kaloulia** and **Kaminieli Naqeleca**, while the file URL uses other spellings; articles follow the judgment's heading.
+
+- The police reported 484 seized plants; the analyst counted 208 complete plants because roots had been removed for transport during a seven-hour return trek. The court discusses that evidentiary difference. No choice of one count as an undisputed total was made.
+- Original sentences were **19 and 18 years**, after deductions from a 20-year calculation for pre-sentence custody. They were not both 20-year final sentences.
+- Revised terms: **15 and 14 years**, non-parole periods **11½ and 10½ years**, effective from 31 January 2017. Both convictions stood. This is one application of the newer guidelines to older appeals, not automatic mass resentencing or expungement.
+- Paragraph 72 reproduces Supreme Court commentary in Ratu: plant count should identify the category, with the nature/size and modest lack-of-sophistication allowance considered in adjustments. No independent new Ratu event was created without recovering that original judgment.
+
+### Hemp amendment signed 29 July 2022
+
+Original enacted two-page Act: <https://www.parliament.gov.fj/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Act-41-Illicit-Drugs-Control-Budget-Amendment.pdf>. Read both pages in extracted text and rendered images. Replaced Wikipedia and the profile's draft Bill citation with the enacted text.
+
+- Passed and signed **29 July 2022**. Section 1(2) requires commencement by a separate notice. The event's exact date is now the verified passage/assent date and its title says **approves**, not an assertion that the exemption commenced that day.
+- Schedule exclusion covers **hemp or plant parts derived from hemp at no more than 1% THC**. No blanket claim that all oils, resin or processed cannabinoid products are unrestricted was made.
+- Added section 32A places the burden on someone claiming hemp in a prosecution to prove the qualifying THC concentration.
+- Budget context was read in the official [15 July 2022 Hansard](https://www.parliament.gov.fj/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Daily-Hansard-Friday-15th-July-2022.pdf), at the Industrial Hemp Export Industry passage (`budget-2022.txt`, lines 1584–1605). Government proposed tested/conditional imports, FNU trials, UNODC cooperation, Canadian seeds and eventual distribution to farmers. Those are reported as plans, not verified deliveries or actual harvests. The speech says below 1%; the enacted law says not exceeding 1%, and the article explains that difference.
+- Search indexing of the official Laws of Fiji update tables identifies **1 August 2022, LN 100 of 2022**. The actual table PDFs now returned 404, so that is an **unread primary-source lead**, not a checked commencement finding. Downloaded Parliament's September 2022 `1Acts.pdf`; its row merely repeats commencement by notice. Do not use the neighbouring row's 1 August date as this Act's commencement. The original commencement notice remains a follow-up.
+
+### New law signed 2 October 2026
+
+Original enacted PDF: <https://www.parliament.gov.fj/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Act-32-Counter-Narcotics-Act-2026.pdf>.
+
+Downloaded all 172 pages and extracted text. Read the assent and commencement page, relevant interpretation/classification provisions, sections 73–79, diversion provisions 193–199, section 209, repeal/transitional sections 254–255 and the relevant Schedule 2/3/4 entries. This is a **selected-section review**, not a whole-Act audit. Inspected rendered PDF pages 13 and 53, confirming assent/commencement and the personal-use offence respectively.
+
+- Assent **2 October 2026**, Act 32. **Section 1(2) requires commencement dates appointed by ministerial Gazette notice. No such notice was verified through 22 October.** Do not treat this as proof that no notice exists. The article and profile state the commencement mechanism and the signed-law status; numerical ratings were not adjusted on an assumed operative date.
+- Current news reports describe passage on 1 October; Parliament's voting index also lists a 29 September item, which may concern the accelerated procedure. The signed Act resolves the assent date used here. No independent third-reading date/vote count was published from those conflicting references.
+- Section 79/Class C plant material: maximum **FJ$500 OR three months OR both**; court must avoid custody unless prior convictions or exceptional circumstances warrant it. This is not a mandatory three-month term or a decriminalised offence.
+- Section 77/Class C cultivation/supply: maximum **FJ$15 million OR 15 years OR both**. At **28 g or 100 cigarettes** of plant material, the Schedule 4 supply presumption can be rebutted. Cannabis preparations are separately Class B, with a different listed threshold; no assertion that every cannabis product has the plant-material ceiling.
