Ban 🇨🇾 Cyprus

Cyprus passes its Dangerous Drugs Law

Index score

1005

−95 points

A 1947 order made under the Dangerous Drugs Laws, 1925 to 1932 extends them to new drugs with effects like those produced by Indian hemp, morphine or cocaine, which shows Indian hemp was among the drugs the law controlled. The filing does not reproduce the law itself, so its exact treatment of cannabis is not confirmed here.[1]
