Vanuatu first restricts cannabis

No first law is recorded here for Vanuatu. Its first restrictions on cannabis are assumed to date from between the 1925 Geneva convention, which put Indian hemp under international control, and the 1961 Single Convention, which required a ban on non-medical use.

Estimated. No first law is recorded; the date is an assumption. The score before the change is an editorial estimate.
