Bhutan bans growing cannabis except for fibre and animal feed

The Narcotic Drugs, Psychotropic Substances and Substance Abuse Act 2005 made cultivation and domestication of cannabis an offence and prohibited harvesting or collection, except for producing fibre and animal feed — the traditional uses.[1] Owners and occupiers of land had to destroy any cannabis found growing there.[1] Cannabis meant the flowering or fruiting tops with resin unextracted, and cannabis plant any plant of the genus.[1]

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