Australia's ratification of the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs was extended to Papua and the Trust Territory of New Guinea on 1 December 1967. The convention required parties to limit the production, trade, possession and use of cannabis and cannabis resin to medical and scientific purposes. The colonial drug ordinances already restricted hemp extracts and banned cultivation, but the treaty put the whole plant and resin under international control. Papua New Guinea lodged its own succession in 1980.[1]
