Pakistan creates a cannabis regulator but keeps recreational use illegal

Parliament passed the Cannabis Control and Regulatory Authority Act, 2024, assented on 24 September and gazetted on 26 September. It licenses cultivation, extraction, manufacturing and sale for medical and industrial use, but does not change the narcotics act's possession or consumption offences.[1]

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