A penal-code amendment published in June 1964 expressly named marijuana and imposed four to eight years for unlawful holding, acquisition, supply and cultivation, including seed dealings.[1] Running premises for drug-use gatherings carried two to five years; people attending to use drugs faced six months to two years and no release on bail.[1] The 1984 drug law later replaced these code provisions with separate offences and a personal-use treatment procedure.[2]
