Iraq's postal guide records permit controls on cannabis imports

The 1930 postal guide told senders that foreign parcels containing ganja, bhang, charas, hashish or other intoxicating hemp preparations required special import authorisation from the Director of Health Service.[1] The rule appeared among articles prohibited from import through the foreign parcel post, recording a cannabis control before the 1933 cultivation law.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Iraq here.
