Ethiopia replaced its 1999 drug law with a wider health law requiring special permits for importing, manufacturing, distributing, storing or possessing narcotic drugs. It kept special prescription and secure-storage rules, and retained seven to fifteen years in prison plus a fine for advertising that encouraged drug abuse. These controls were later rewritten in the 2019 food-and-medicine law.[1][2]
