Southern Rhodesia's 1952 Act limits who may hold cannabis

Under the Pharmacy, Poisons and Dangerous Drugs Act, 1952 only authorised persons such as sellers of poisons, medical practitioners, dentists and veterinary surgeons could possess the cannabis plant and its products. A 1955 United Nations survey lists it as the colony's cannabis law.[1]

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