Bahrain’s replacement dangerous-drug ordinance restricted cannabis and resin to authorised handlers and genuine medical prescriptions, with up to three years in prison, a fine up to 5,000 rupees, or both for offences.[1] It also expressly listed cannabis extracts and tinctures, with an exception in that listing for preparations capable only of external use.[1] It replaced the 1954 rules on 2 July 1959 and was later repealed by the 1973 decree.[1][2]
