Greenland takes responsibility for its own drug laws

Greenland took over legislative responsibility for euphoriant substances when it assumed responsibility for health services in 1992.[1][2] Existing health legislation continued until replaced locally, so later Danish cannabis reforms needed Greenlandic decisions to apply there.[1][2] This became central to the later debate about low-THC oils.[2]
