Bahrain added synthetic cannabinoids and synthetic cathinone to its controlled narcotics list through a cabinet decision taking effect the day after publication.[1][2] The decision also added tramadol, ketamine and a drug precursor to other tables.[1] Natural cannabis was already controlled under the 2007 law’s plant rules.[3]
Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Bahrain here.
