Tightening 🇾🇪 Yemen

Aden extends drug controls to cannabis preparations taken internally

Aden’s governor added preparations made from cannabis extract or tincture to the dangerous-drug list when they were not solely for external use.[1] The notice, dated 5 April 1947, used powers under the colony’s 1942 ordinance.[1] The later replacement law retained this distinction in its drug schedule.[2]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Yemen here.
