Iran signs the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs

Iran signed the 1961 Single Convention in New York on 30 March 1961, two years after it had banned cannabis at home. The convention required parties to limit the production, trade and possession of cannabis to medical and scientific use. Iran did not ratify it for another eleven years.[1]
