France names cannabis and its extracts in Algeria’s drug controls

The colonial decree applied France’s updated narcotics controls to Algeria and required special authorisation for industrial and commercial drug operations.[1] It replaced the disputed word “hashish” with cannabis, resin, preparations, extracts and tinctures.[1] The League Secretariat questioned whether the French text expressly covered cultivation, despite the colonial administration’s claims that enforcement had reduced growing and use.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Algeria here.
