Cannabis in Bolivia explained

Cannabis in Bolivia is illegal, but cultivated illicitly, mostly for domestic consumption.[1] Bolivian law treats cannabis equally to cocaine, with possession of one gram punishable by 10–25 years in prison.[2]

Bolivia's Anti-Drug Law 1008 of 1988 mandates rehabilitation and treatment for drug users.[3] [4]
