Tightening 🇦🇹 Austria

Austria passes its Narcotics Act

The Suchtgiftgesetz allowed narcotics to be produced, acquired and possessed only with a ministry permit or on prescription, and plants to be grown for a narcotic only with a permit. Supplying carried up to six months' arrest, large-scale production or trade one to five years, and other breaches a fine or up to three months' arrest. It repealed all earlier narcotics rules.[1]

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