“Prohibition” refers to the legal regime, in force in most of the world since the early-to-mid 20th century, that criminalises the cultivation, possession, trade, and use of Cannabis. It rests on the international drug control treaties — although there is no obligation to prohibit cannabis in any treaty — as well as on domestic criminal laws adopted by States to implement these treaties.
