Stupéfiant figurant, en compagnie de l’héroïne et de la cocaïne, aux Tableaux I et IV – qui appellent les contrôles les plus sévères – de la Convention de 1961, le cannabis ne figure pas en soi à la Convention de 1971 mais le THC est un psychotrope qui figure au Tableau I en compagnie de la mescaline, du LSD, etc.
While cannabis is included, along with heroin and cocaine, in Schedules I and IV of the 1961 Convention, which carry the most stringent controls, it is not even mentioned by name in the 1971 Convention, though THC is listed as a Schedule I psychotropic along with mescaline, LSD and so on.
