Tunisia brings narcotics into its poisons decree

A decree of 1 August 1939 set the rules for importing, buying, selling, holding and using toxic substances, including narcotics. After the 1953 ban, pharmacists could still supply cannabis for medical or veterinary use under this decree until their stocks ran out, and at the latest on 1 January 1955.[1]
