Ban 🇹🇳 Tunisia

Tunisia bans cannabis even for medicine

Law 64-47 prohibited growing, harvesting, holding, selling, transporting, using and consuming cannabis and its preparations, even for human or veterinary medicine. It set one to five years and a 100–10,000-dinar fine, doubled penalties for repeat offences, and fined 5 dinars per plant left standing. It replaced the 1953 decree and remained the base of Tunisian drug law until Law 92-52 replaced it in 1992.[1]
