Portugal replaced Macau's 1962 narcotics decree with a new code that banned importing, making, selling, using or holding drugs outside medical or scientific authorisation. It also banned growing the plants from which they were extracted, which covered cannabis. The code kept prison terms for personal use and heavier terms for supply, and a 1969 amendment set the personal-use term at six months plus a fine. It remained the basis of Macau's drug law until the 1991 overhaul.[1][2]
