Portugal published a consolidated drug law for Macau under which illicit use and personal possession carried six months to a year in prison plus a fine; cannabis, resin and preparations were expressly listed.[1] Doctors and pharmacies had a controlled prescription route, while giving drugs away and selling them carried separate prison penalties.[1] The decree brought earlier local controls together; later amendments reduced the personal-use prison term.[1][2]
