Greenland inherited drug controls based on Denmark’s 1955 law; a local law replaced that statute in January 2023.[1][2] The first cannabis restriction is still estimated at 1955 because its earliest applicable instrument has not been recovered.

This entry is an estimate. No first law is recorded for Greenland, so its first restrictions are assumed to have come at some point between 1955 and 1979. On the charts the change is spread evenly across those years.
