Growing, importing, possessing, giving away or using cannabis was punishable by six months to two years in jail under the re-enacted cannabis law. The Supreme Court later quoted this rule while explaining that the 1934 statute re-enacted the original 1932 cannabis law. The 1959 narcotics law then replaced the misdemeanor regime with much heavier felony penalties.[1]
