Removal of Cannabis from Schedule IV of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs

The removal of cannabis and cannabis resin from Schedule IV of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961, marked a significant change in international drug control policy, implemented between 2019 and 2021. This decision was based on a scientific assessment conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Historical Background
Since the adoption of the United Nations' Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs in 1961, cannabis and cannabis resin had been classified under Schedule IV. This category is reserved for substances deemed "particularly liable to abuse and to produce ill effects," with no significant therapeutic benefits to offset their risks. However, the initial inclusion of cannabis in this category lacked a scientific basis, as no comprehensive international scientific review had been conducted at that time.

Scientific Reassessment and Policy Change
The first international scientific assessment of cannabis and cannabis resin was carried out in 2018 by the WHO. This review highlighted the therapeutic potential of cannabis and led to recommendations for its reclassification. On December 2, 2020, the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) voted to remove cannabis and cannabis resin from Schedule IV. This decision entered into force in 2021, signifying a shift in the global approach to cannabis regulation.

Current Classification
Despite its removal from Schedule IV, cannabis and cannabis resin remain listed in Schedule I of the Single Convention. This classification includes extracts and tinctures of cannabis and subjects them to strict international control due to their potential for abuse.
