Cannabis is illegal in Iran, but the law is often not strictly enforced.[1] [2] [3] cannabis has become increasingly popular in Iranian cities according to various reports, although the government does not keep official usage statistics.[4] [5]
In 1989 the Iranian government enacted a law providing the death penalty for possession of hashish in excess of five kilograms.[6]
History
[ edit ]
The popularization of cannabis is apocryphally attributed to Sheikh Haydar (d. 1221 CE), a Sufi saint who lived in Khurasan province of what is now Iran .[7]
[ edit ]
In 2015, Saeed Sefatian, who leads the working group on drug demand reduction within the Council for the Discernment of the Expediency of the State (or Expediency Council) presented a lecture outlining steps towards legalizing cannabis.[8]
