A 1973 United States government report notedsurvey reported that the 1956 law does not specifically include cannabis in its drug list of narcotic drugs, which is based on the 1931 convention, though it refersdid not name cannabis but pointed to other decrees that probably docovered it; illicit possession, use, import, export or trafficking drew three to eight years in prison plus a fine.[@1] A 1988 narcotics law confirmed the statute's identity by annulling part of its article 6.[@2]

+## New: San Marino 1956 + 1988 (estimate retired)
+
+- `sm-first-restriction-estimate` (1925 window) replaced by
+  `san-marino-narcotics-law-1956` (ban, 1956-02-23, 100→11): Law No. 7 of
+  23 February 1956, built on the 1931 limitation convention. A 1973 US
+  survey says its list did not name cannabis but pointed to decrees that
+  probably covered it; possession/use/import/export/trafficking drew 3-8
+  years plus a fine. Honesty note kept in the description ("probably").
+  Existence/date verified in E/NL.1988/42 (1988 law annuls 1956 art. 6).
+- New `san-marino-narcotics-law-1988` (tightening, unscored): Law No. 32 of
+  7 March 1988 wrote narcotics offences into the Criminal Code; possession
+  punished even if not for sale; annexed list names marijuana, hashish, THC,
+  hashish oil, sinsemilla. Unscored: 3-8-year band already applied to
+  possession under the 1956 regime.
+- Open: Legge n. 15 del 11 febbraio 1983, art. 1 (categories) — seen only
+  as a search snippet; text not chased.
