No first law is recorded here for French Polynesia. Criminal drug law there is French law, and a 2023 report says the territory's own rules on poisonous substances date from 1978, but the first instrument applying cannabis controls to the islands, then the French Establishments in Oceania, has not been found. The date of the first restriction is unknown.[1]
