Tightening 🇸🇸 South Sudan

Sudan brings growing and possession under a separate hashish law

The Anglo-Egyptian administration prohibited unauthorised cannabis growing, processing, sales, possession, imports, exports and transport under its hashish ordinance. The restrictions covered herbal cannabis and resin and unauthorised pharmaceutical use.[1] The replacement ordinance published in 1924 expressly repealed the 1907 law.[2]
