A UN assessment finds cannabis the easiest illegal drug to buy in Timor-Leste

A UNFPA-commissioned assessment, based on fieldwork in Dili and Maliana in 2011, found cannabis locally grown and easily available through social networks. Users described buying pre-rolled joints for $10–15 and hashish, called 'coklat', smuggled from Indonesia. The report also found no Timorese drug law, few drug arrests, no forensic laboratory, and recommended a new controlled-substances law.[1]
