The League of Nations' Advisory Committee on Traffic in Opium reported in June 1938 that the Union of Indo-China, then including Laos, recorded raw and prepared opium seizures in 1937. Its list of the main illicit markets for Indian hemp named Egypt, India, Ceylon and other countries, but not Indochina. In the report, Indochina appears as an opium territory, and cannabis stays outside the traffic it counted.[1]
Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Laos here.
