The Netherlands Antilles' ordinance of 30 July 1929 on opium and other narcotics (P.B. 1940, no. 138), which covered Sint Maarten as part of the country, is the earliest Antillean drug law traced here.[1] The 1960 Opium Ordinance replaced it; that ordinance was signed on 28 March 1960 and took effect on 1 June 1964.[1][2]
