Nauru amends its dangerous drugs law

The Dangerous Drugs Act 1968 (No. 1 of 1968) was certified on 8 April 1968 and amended the 1952 Ordinance; the consolidated Act was cited as the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952–1968. A 2004 Supreme Court case charged possession of Indian hemp under section 10(1)(c), which carried three months to two years. The 1968 Act text itself was not recovered.[1][2]
