Ban 🇨🇼 Curaçao

Curaçao first restricts cannabis

Index score

10025

−75 points

No first law on cannabis is recorded here for Curaçao. The Netherlands banned trade in Indian hemp in 1928, and Curaçao's Opium Ordinance of 1960 listed cannabis, so the first restriction is assumed to fall between those years.[1]
