Cabo Verde corrects and republishes its drug law

The official gazette republished Law 78/IV/93 because the July version had been incomplete and inaccurate. The corrected article 9 uses seven days for the relevant user-trafficker quantity test, where the July printing used five; this is separate from article 20’s small personal-consumption offence. The correction is not treated as the first cannabis restriction.[1][2]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Cabo Verde here.
