Gambia replaces its earlier drug law with a decree

A drug-control decree replaced the 1993 drug legislation, according to the enforcement agency’s institutional history. It governed the period before the 2003 replacement law, which expressly repealed it and set rules for handling prosecutions already under way.[1][2]
