⛔ Ban · · Suriname
Suriname first restricts cannabis
The date of Suriname's ban is not recorded here. It was in place by 1921, when the Surinamese Immigrants' Association petitioned the Dutch colonial government to lift it, so it is assumed to fall between 1900 and 1921.
Estimated. No first law is recorded; the date is an assumption. The score before the change is an editorial estimate.
