Tightening 🇶🇦 Qatar

Qatar bans synthetic cannabinoids by name

The Minister of Public Health added "synthetic cannabinoid preparations in all their names, forms and industrial compositions" to Schedule 1 of the 1987 narcotics law. The decision was published on 20 August 2024 and took effect the next day. It targeted lab-made products such as spice; the cannabis plant and resin were already in Schedule 1.[1][2]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Qatar here.
