Khyber Pakhtunkhwa published its Control of Narcotic Substances Act on 4 September 2019, repealing the federal act's possession and supply offences in the province and setting its own penalty table. For charas up to 499 grams it allowed up to two years and a fine of up to 40,000 rupees, and for bhang up to 999 grams up to three years and a fine, where the federal middle band allowed up to seven years for more than 100 grams. Cannabis stayed illegal, and cultivation needed a provincial licence for medical, scientific or industrial use.[1]
