Tightening 🇵🇸 Palestine

Jordan's drug law takes over in the West Bank

Jordan's Dangerous Drugs Law No. 10 of 1955 defined Indian hemp, banned its cultivation, possession, sale and smoking, and set heavy penalties. Trafficking brought life imprisonment with hard labour and a 3,000–5,000 dinar fine; possession or dealing brought at least ten years and a 1,000–3,000 dinar fine; use brought at least six months and a 50–200 dinar fine. The law repealed the 1936 Palestinian Dangerous Drugs Law in the West Bank.[1]
