The Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet ratified the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs on 20 February 1964, and the treaty took effect for the Soviet Union on 13 December 1964. Georgia, then a Soviet republic, was covered by the union's obligations, which required parties to limit the possession, use, trade, production and distribution of cannabis to medical and scientific purposes. Independent Georgia later acceded to the same convention in its own right on 27 March 2000.[1][2]
