The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1991 raised penalties for Schedule I and II manufacture, delivery and possession, added school-zone and under-18 delivery terms, allowed inter-island customs searches and required a drug treatment plan. Cannabis was Schedule I, so its penalties rose; simple possession stayed criminal.[1][2]
