The government proposed a thirty-year trafficking tier for fifty kilograms or less of cannabis or khat, alongside life imprisonment above that amount. The bill also proposed adding possession to the existing trafficking definition and a medically assessed treatment route for certain people convicted of drug use. Parliament enacted the amendment later that year, with publication on 1 December.[1]
