Tightening 🇫🇷 France

France tightens its drug law again on the eve of war

The poison-law regime was strengthened a second time in 1939, keeping France among the most restrictive countries in Europe. The prohibition framework then stood largely unchanged until the 1970 drug law made use itself a criminal offence.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for France here.
