Ban 🇲🇴 Macau

Macau first restricts cannabis

Index score

1009

−91 points

No first law on cannabis is recorded here for Macau. Portugal's 1962 decree gathered Macau's existing rules on narcotics into one law, so its first restriction is assumed to fall between the 1925 Geneva convention and 1962.[1]
