Law No. 296 repealed the clauses requiring proposals for review of the Euphoriant Substances Act and the 1969 Penal Code amendment in the 1970–71 parliamentary session. The government's explanatory memorandum had argued against changing cannabis's legal status while supporting further research. The repeal removed review requirements rather than legalising cannabis or repealing the possession and supply offences. This entry uses the law's date; separate commencement was not established.[1][2][3]
