Poland classifies cannabis as a narcotic
Cannabis had been named in Polish law since 1930 as a harmful substance. It was now classed as a narcotic, which restricted its production and trade. Possession itself was not an offence until 1997.
Checked. The date and the event were compared with a source that was read. The score before the change is an editorial estimate.
