+  treaty-driven ordinance from later policing campaigns and official claims
+  about the absence of a drug problem.
+- `kenya-ban-1914`: 409 words, distinguishing the Hague opium framework from
+  a cannabis treaty obligation, and the 1908 request from the later restriction.
+- `guyana-licensing-1861`: 414 words, describing licensed sales without
+  expanding that evidence into a blanket possession or consumption ban.

+
+Used the local EPUB of *Cannabis: Global Histories*, edited by Lucas Richert
+and James H. Mills (MIT Press, 2021). The title and copyright-page extraction
+identifies paperback ISBN 9780262045209; no separate ebook ISBN is asserted.
+Public citations identify chapter sections rather than an unverified mapping
+from EPUB locations to print pages.

+Read the relevant extracts and checked the central legal passages against the
+original EPUB XHTML:
+
+- Gernot Klantschnig, chapter 10, “Cannabis Use in West Africa Before 1960,”
+  especially the 1927/1935 ordinances, international templates, official
+  reporting and subsequent policing.
+- Neil Carrier, chapter 14, “Quasilegality and Cannabis in Africa,” especially
+  the 1914 ordinance, the Hague convention, Ainsworth's request and notes 16–18.
+- Jamie Banks, chapter 3, introduction and “Dr. Grieve + Dr. Seccombe = ??,”
+  especially the 1861 licensing discussion and notes 52–55. The interpretation
+  of the ordinance as anticipatory is attributed through Banks to Hanoomansingh.
+
+This was a targeted rereading, not a new claim to have read all three chapters
+or their underlying archives. The existing research notes document earlier
+whole-chapter reading of Klantschnig and Carrier.
+
+The original Nigerian ordinance, Kenyan gazette notices, Guianese ordinance,
+archival correspondence and Hanoomansingh dissertation were not independently
+examined in this pass. The articles do not infer new offence details, penalties,
+prevalence estimates or enforcement rates from those unexamined sources.
+Colonial medical and criminality claims are attributed rather than adopted.
+
+Web searches supplied additional leads. Google Books retrieval of the Kenyan
+gazette and retrieval of Banks's later LSHTM-hosted article failed in the web
+reader. Neither was added as an examined source. Searches about Soviet and
+Thai controls were not used for these articles. No claims were taken solely
+from search summaries.
+
+## Scope and validation

+working changes in other articles, changes.yaml and the earlier history
+research note were preserved. No book text or images were copied to public
+assets.

+  is distinguished from lawful cannabis use. The trafficking range and
+  cannabis/resin listing are retained with precise statutory support.
+
+The congressional BACN text of Law 1881 was initially readable but later timed
+out along with its download. The Senate Legislative Digest's separate original

+on 6 June 2002, which are distinct from promulgation. No unverified claim about
+the vetoed provisions was inserted. Paraguay's 1988 exemption and Ecuador's
+already-recorded 2008 pardon were inspected for duplication but not changed.

+New entries remain unscored: one preserves existing procedural rules and the

+  Article 4, applies the trafficking provision to quantities within the
+  personal-dose threshold when held for distribution or sale. Article 60 and
+  the publication note establish commencement that day. This implements the
+  existing purpose distinction in Law 30, rather than creating a new threshold.
+- **18 November 2008:** [the original opening and facts of cassation 29183,
+  reproduced by vLex](https://vlex.com.co/vid/691873321), establish the date and
+  29.9 grams. The freely accessible excerpt ends during the defence's arguments;
+  its outcome is instead verified in the Constitutional Court's own
+  [C-491/12, section 19.2](https://www.corteconstitucional.gov.co/relatoria/2012/C-491-12.htm).
+  That later judgment describes the acquittal and quotes the absence of
+  distribution, sale or harm to protected interests. This is a case-specific
+  personal-use ruling, not a general 29.9-gram allowance.
+- **1986 statute correction:** [Law 30](https://www.funcionpublica.gov.co/eva/gestornormativo/norma.php?i=2774),
+  Articles 2(j), 51 and 101, replace the secondary sources. The original
+  personal-dose sanctions distinguish first offences, repetition within twelve
+  months and dependence treatment. The retained 31 January date is sanction
+  and commencement under Article 101. The host's inconsistent final Gazette
+  note is not used to establish that date. Its annotation records Article 51's
+  later invalidation in C-221/94.
+- **2009 amendment correction:** [Legislative Act 02](https://www.funcionpublica.gov.co/eva/gestornormativo/norma.php?i=38289),
+  Articles 1–2 and the publication note establish 21 December commencement,
+  the prescription exception and informed-consent requirement. C-491/12 verifies
+  the subsequent interpretation excluding exclusively personal-use possession
+  from the criminal offence.
+
+The MamaCoca index quoted the original facts and linked the full 2008 judgment,
+whose PDF returned empty responses. Its wording suggested inconsistent rounded
+quantities; the readable original facts resolve this as 29.9 grams. Neither the
+unread full PDF nor search snippets are relied on as verification. Chile's
+already-recorded 1985 and 2008 material was considered for duplication; no new
+Chilean entry is claimed in this batch.

+  retained. The linked article's opening and sources were corrected while
+  preserving its authorship metadata and remaining text. TNI remains the
+  source for the comparison with the preceding fines regime.
+
+The 1988 Costa Rican entry remains unchanged: the original historical version
+was not retrieved, and search-result references to its day-fines were not
+accepted as a substitute. Uruguay's 2004 seed-rule Article 25 and 2005
+confiscation provisions also remain pending because their full relevant
+texts could not be read. No claims about those provisions were added.
+
+Both countries' mechanical score chains report zero flagged steps. Existing

+  Articles 9, 33 and 43, establishes agricultural permits and differentiated
+  possession sanctions. The date is calculated from the fifteen-day clause
+  and 27 December publication. The original short imprisonment alternatives
+  are retained explicitly as historical sanctions, avoiding a claim that the
+  original minor-offence regime was fine-only or that these remain today's
+  penalties. No unsupported comparison with the preceding Yugoslav law is made.
+- **29 April 2004:** [original hemp-permit rules](https://www.uradni-list.si/glasilo-uradni-list-rs/vsebina/2004-01-2010),
+  Articles 2–4, 9 and 12–14, establish listed varieties, 0.2 percent dry-matter

+# Argentina possession and cannabis controls — 20 October 2026
+
+Added a 1926 article and two unscored events for the 1968 regulatory law and
+1977 cannabis cultivation prohibition. Clarified the existing 1926 event's
+scope and added the official register and historical research to its sources.
+
+## Evidence and limits
+
+- Read the official Law 11,331 register, which reproduces the added clause in
+  its summary and gives sanction on 16 July and publication on 13 August 1926.
+  A complete original gazette scan was not inspected; the clause is attributed
+  to the official reproduction rather than described as a recovered scan.
+- Read Corda's 2018 book, Chapter 1, printed pp. 12–13, and its publication
+  metadata. It distinguishes early administrative references to Indian hemp
+  from the disputed cannabis coverage of criminal-law terminology. The article
+  does not claim that no cannabis controls existed before 1968 or 1977.
+- Read the official Law 17,818 text at Articles 1–3 and its annexed cannabis
+  entry, and the adoption/publication metadata. Although labelled original by
+  the portal, the displayed text contains later monetary provisions. These were
+  not used to infer 1968 fine amounts or historical penalties. Nor were later
+  additions to other parts of the list backdated. The event records adoption,
+  not an inferred commencement day.
+- Read the complete three-article Law 21,671 on the official portal. Adoption
+  and publication are separate, and no prison penalty is invented from this
+  instrument alone. The portal labels its issuing institution as Congress,
+  but the actual text says the president sanctioned and promulgated it under
+  the military government's statute; the entry attributes it to the government.
+- Left the 1924 entry unchanged: the different sentencing bands in that law
+  warrant original-text verification before revising its existing summary.
+- The existing 1926 score vector is preserved without fresh validation. Its
+  cannabis-specific scope remains uncertain; new events omit `before` rather
+  than reconstruct historical enforcement or score dimensions from these texts.

+# Ceylon licensing and prohibition — 20 October 2026
+
+Added three unscored events (1910 assent, 1929 enactment, 1936 commencement) and
+a 1910 article. Updated the 1867 and 1935 accounts and added a primary repeal-
+schedule source to the existing 1905 event.
+
+## Evidence and dating
+
+- Downloaded the original gazette No. 6,386, Part II, 17 June 1910, from Sri Lanka's
+  National Library. Read sections 1–2 and 24–26, the assent record and surrounding
+  provisions. Rendered and visually inspected PDF pages 17–18 (printed 305–306),
+  confirming the possession/supply rule, poisons-license exception and proof
+  provision. Ignored local copy: `tmp/pdfs/ceylon-2026-10-20/`.
+- Council passage, assent and gazette publication are distinct. Section 1 requires
+  proclamation and permits different dates for provisions. No original
+  commencement proclamation for the cannabis provisions was found in this batch.
+- Read the NDDCB handbook, Appendix 7, printed pp. 97–98. It distinguishes 1929
+  passage, non-proclamation, 1935 amendment and 1936 operation. The reproduced
+  1956 statutory edition supplies 1 January 1936, but contains later amendments;
+  its entire operative text was not backdated to commencement.
+- Read C. G. Uragoda's article, especially pp. 71–74, for the earlier licensing
+  system and political context. The original 1867 ordinance was not obtained.
+  The committee date of 13 November is not treated as assent or commencement.
+- The 1912 gazette repeal schedule identifies the title and number of the 1905
+  ordinance. This strengthens the existing event without claiming that its full
+  text or all exemptions have been recovered. An accidentally duplicated 1905
+  entry was removed after the ID validation caught it, before building.
+- Earlier independent work already covers 1878, 1893, 1897 and 1899; these records
+  were retained. No score vectors were changed or newly assigned.

+- Read the Jersey scrutiny report's original PDF, targeted to printed pp. 20–21
+  and 100–101. The Chief Pharmacist's retrospective account supports a month for
+  first local prescribing, without inventing a day or a first patient.
+- The Guernsey memorandum entry is explicitly based on the neighbouring

+  1617–1619 and the relevant discussion at 1625–1626. Visually inspected PDF p. 5,
+  where column 1626 explicitly confirms the 1969 supply law took effect on
+  **1 July 1969**. Not all medical annexes were read, and the dated medical
+  opinions were not treated as current scientific findings.
+- **L 72 as adopted:** read and visually inspected the complete one-page text,
+  columns 1117–1118. The two repeal provisions remove review clauses, not drug
+  offences. Its annotation identifies Law 296 of **9 June 1971**. This is the
+  law date used by the entry; separate commencement was not established.
+- Opened the official parliamentary summaries and chronology for L 133, L 121
+  and L 72 as supporting metadata. Original PDFs supply the operative claims.
+
+## Applied
+
+- `denmark-cannabis-research-recommendation-1969`, **29 May 1969**: committee
+  calls for research into cannabis and legal controls, and inquiry into
+  exempting personal-use conduct. This is neither legalisation nor an enacted
+  decriminalisation measure. Added a 350–500-word article grounded in the report.
+- `denmark-serious-drug-supply-1969`, **1 July 1969**: commencement of section 191.
+  Transfer circumstances and intent requirements are retained; the six-year
+  maximum is not applied to every possession case. Committee guidance about
+  serious commercial cannabis activity is distinguished from the statute's
+  offence wording. No fixed cannabis threshold was invented from the guidance.
+- `denmark-drug-review-clauses-repealed-1971`, **9 June 1971 law date**: removal
+  of mandatory review requirements, preserving the distinction between the
+  government's stated policy and the narrow statutory repeal.
+
+New events are connected to each other and to the existing 1955 and July 1969
+entries. All earlier records, before vectors and current country profiles were
+preserved. These additions improve legal and debate coverage without asserting
+a newly quantified change in typical enforcement.
+
+## Limits and further leads
+
+The 1936 Danish opium-law lead remains open. The compilation pages found in
+search could not be retrieved in the web reader, and snippets were not used to
+create an event. The original 1969 amendment concerning convertible substances
+was not retrieved in this pass and was not separately added as a cannabis event.
+
+The broader Soviet score-timing question recorded in the previous research
+note remains unresolved. This Danish batch does not resolve or recertify it.
+
+## Validation
+
+Parsed baseline comparison verifies exactly three additions, with all earlier
+records unchanged. All 2,593 IDs are unique and related targets exist. All three
+new records are unscored. The article's YAML, word length and internal links
+passed checks; its body is 410 words. Production build passed: 3,283 pages in
+24.39 seconds. All three generated pages contain their parliamentary source
+links, and the committee page contains the new article. The generated history
+JSON contains all three new IDs and 2,593 events overall. Article coverage is
+553 events. Staged and unstaged whitespace checks passed. The broader
+history-coverage goal remains active.

+# Dutch Caribbean: prosecution policies and Curaçao's replacement ordinance
+
+Added four checked, unscored events and two articles, giving Aruba, Curaçao and
+Sint Maarten their first history coverage. The previous goal turn made verified
+progress; the broader history goal remains active.
+
+## Aruba: 11 February 2021
+
+Downloaded Guideline **7935/2021** from the Aruba government-hosted file and read
+the corresponding public prosecutor's official HTML page. The PDF and HTML
+agree on commencement, the Article 4 table and its exceptions. Visually inspected
+the PDF's final table/signature page (**p. 4**), as well as rendering the opening
+and general-principles pages for inspection.
+
+Applied the verified commencement, dismissal plus surrender in the 0–5 g
+soft-drug band, higher demands in the next band, role distinctions and exceptions
+for minors, repeat offending, other offences and specified circumstances. The
+article distinguishes a prosecutor's demand from a mandatory judicial sentence.
+No previous guideline was compared, so the entry does not claim this was the
+first small-quantity leniency or assign a newly quantified score step.
+
+Added `aruba-prosecution-guideline-2021` and a 385-word article.
+
+## Curaçao and Sint Maarten: 1 December 2018
+
+Downloaded **Richtlijn voor strafvordering 2018/01, Opium delicten**. Read its
+jurisdiction/commencement metadata and relevant general principles, the cannabis
+table (**p. 5**), and cultivation/transitional passages (**p. 6**). Visually
+inspected pp. 1 and 5, including the footnote to the table.
+
+The document expressly names both countries and the Caribbean Netherlands. It
+provides seizure and potentially conditional dismissal in the 0–25 g band,
+a fine demand up to NAF 500/USD 280 in the 25–50 g band, and reference to half
+the cocaine/heroin demand from 50 g. The printed table's adjoining bands share
+boundary labels; no extra exact-boundary interpretation is invented here.
+The footnote lists exceptions and p. 6 separately addresses prohibited cultivation.
+The July 2015 predecessor is expressly displaced; its substantive rules were
+not independently examined.
+
+Added `curacao-prosecution-guideline-2018` and
+`sint-maarten-prosecution-guideline-2018`, linked as the same regional measure.
+One 388-word article, under the Curaçao event, explains the shared policy and
+links to the Sint Maarten record. No duplicate article was created.
+
+## Curaçao: 6 July 2024
+
+Downloaded the original **Publicatieblad 2024 No. 74**, the replacement
+Opiumlandsverordening. Read relevant extracted text for Article 1's cannabis
+definition, Articles **2a, 3a and 4**, and final Articles **15–19**. Visually
+inspected the pages around cultivation and the final **p. 16**, which expressly
+records issue on **5 July** and next-day operation under Article 18. Thus
+**6 July 2024** is supported by the instrument's own publication and commencement
+terms rather than inferred from its filename or signature alone.
+
+Added `curacao-opium-ordinance-2024`, distinguishing replacement from first
+prohibition and preserving the cannabis restrictions and exception-making
+powers. The pass does not claim to identify every substantive difference from
+the previous ordinance or establish how courts applied the new framework.
+
+## Limits and deferred leads
+
+The original Sint Maarten 2019 cannabis-policy gazette download failed with an
+expired-certificate error; the alternate host supplied HTML rather than a PDF.
+Neither was used as verified evidence of enacted medical access. No security
+checks were disabled. Earlier 1960 Antillean-law and 1989 Aruban-amendment
+searches remain leads; current consolidations were not backdated as original
+enactments. The official 1960-law metadata supplied context, not a newly
+verified first-ban date.
+
+All four additions omit before vectors. No existing history event, score or
+country profile was edited. Existing profile sources helped locate documents
+but were reread rather than assumed verified. Downloads and renders remain in
+ignored `tmp/pdfs/dutch-caribbean-2026-10-20/`.
+
+## Validation
+
+Baseline comparison confirms exactly four additions with every earlier record
+identical. All 2,605 IDs are unique and related targets exist. Both articles have
+valid metadata and internal history links, and meet the 350–500-word range.
+Production build passed: 3,295 pages in 22.61 seconds. All four generated pages
+contain the expected source links and all four records appear in the history
+JSON. Both article pages render the new sections. Totals: 2,605 events and
+558 articles. Staged and unstaged whitespace checks passed. The broader goal

+# Gibraltar history and article verification — 20 October 2026
+
+Added three unscored events and an article for the existing 2019 event. Sources
+are the original 2017/2019 instruments, the official 2021 Act and government
+announcements, linked in the event and article source blocks.
+
+## Dating and limits
+
+- Corrected the 2019 event from the press-release date to the gazette's express
+  commencement date. Its existing `before` vector is preserved; no other scored
+  event is changed.
+- Recorded 2021 assent, rather than inferring operation from enactment. Status
+  checked against the official text on the research date.
+- The 2023 announcement is evidence of a supply arrangement, with qualifications,
+  rather than proof of a first prescription or dispensing date.
+- The Isle of Man consultation was inspected as a possible next research lead;
+  no Manx events were added in this batch.
+
+## Verification
+
+Baseline: `tmp/history-gibraltar-2026-10-20/changes-before.yaml` (ignored).
+Compare all existing records except the intended 2019 date/source correction,
+all existing score vectors, IDs, article source metadata and internal links.
+Run the production build and check new event pages and the history JSON export.
+
+Results: all 2,605 pre-existing records retained, with only the intended 2019
+correction; all score vectors unchanged. The build passed (3,298 pages), and
+four generated event pages, the rendered article and exported date were checked.
+Whitespace checks passed for staged and unstaged changes. Totals: 2,608 events
+and 559 articles. Direct PDF downloads timed out; the official documents were
+read through the web tool's PDF extraction instead.
