description

~~In July~~Brunei’s order of 25 June 1992 ~~the~~made death ~~penalty was extended to cover possession of~~mandatory for trafficking, importing or exporting more than ~~200 grams~~500 g of cannabis or ~~opium~~200 g of cannabis resin, ~~according to Reuters news agency as cited by Amnesty International. The current schedule sets death above 500~~and for possessing more than 600 g of cannabis or 300 g of resin for trafficking. It did not create a 200 g cannabis threshold; that figure is the resin line. The 15 g cannabis and ~~above 600~~10 g ~~for possession for~~resin presumptions of trafficking already existed, soand the ~~1992 figure should not be read as the present threshold~~order applied to offences after commencement.
