Enforcement 🇳🇴 Norway

Norway makes its first cannabis seizure and prosecution

In 1965 Norway recorded its first seizure of cannabis, and its first court case under the 1964 Medicines Act, in which a foreign student was arrested and punished for unlawful dealings with cannabis. The Medicines Act of 1964 had replaced the opium law and set fines or up to two years in prison for offences involving narcotics.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Norway here.
