Bolivia sets a penalty ladder for narcotic drugs including cannabis

Bolivia's Narcotic Drugs Act of 10 January 1962 named cannabis and its galenical preparations among the narcotic drugs; it was published in the Gaceta Oficial on 7 February and communicated to the United Nations under the 1931 convention.[1] Unauthorised preparation, trade or supply drew three to twelve years plus a fine, and possession without proof of lawful origin drew three to five years, rising for officials, gangs, supply to minors, illness or death.[1]
