Tightening 🇧🇹 Bhutan

Bhutan's narcotics act sets the 50-gram and five-plant thresholds

The Narcotic Drugs, Psychotropic Substances and Substance Abuse Act 2015, in force on 20 July 2015, replaced the 2005 act and the Penal Code's drug sections. It made cannabis a Schedule I drug, set thresholds of 50 g of herbal cannabis, 7 g of hashish, 3 ml of hashish oil and five plants, and created the possession, cultivation and trafficking tiers still used. It also created a treatment framework for substance abuse.[1]

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