The British Mandate ended on 14 May 1948. Jordan took control of the West Bank and Egypt took control of Gaza; Jordan's 1955 Dangerous Drugs Law replaced the 1936 Palestinian ordinance in the West Bank, and Gaza received a separate narcotics law in 1962. Those two statutes set the legal split that still shapes cannabis enforcement.[1][2][3]
