History

Rule of Law and Banking began in Berber (not barbarian barber) North Africa and were meant to cease the disincentivizations and make for an expansive peace is stabilty pro human modernization stopping theft. wild dogs from west europe have expressed belligerance against this original history for perhaps a century or more however nowadays automation deluges their cultures so dishonest their languages when used by themselves are but noises used to try and frighten distract and or false associate with. the bans on cannabis have been those wild dogs trying to play fairest of them all with what amounts to themself trying to denhy its roots and inevitable future what with the continual nature of the long term... obviously such bans have ridiculed real legitimate regulatory concepts while trying to false associate with and scapegoat them by turning things against truth as a false foundation for society through intervals... so the foolish overreach nanny state denies how very many outsiders they rig the future for while suppressing those they try and force into being labelled their fellow insiders for their faggy ironic scapegoating aspirations we truthful people call demonic and stay clear of as they deluge eachother over time.

During the British Empire rule in Myanmar (then known as Burma), cannabis was banned in 1870 (or 1874). However, despite the ban, there was a high demand for cannabis, particularly among Indian workers in the country. Recognizing this ongoing demand, the Burmese government legalized and taxed cannabis in 1939. This move was primarily aimed at regulating the sale and consumption of the drug and generating revenue for the government.

The legalization of cannabis in Myanmar led to the establishment of government-run dispensaries that sold the drug to users. The dispensaries were established in major cities like Yangon, Mandalay, and Rangoon. However, the dispensaries faced several challenges, including poor quality of cannabis and corruption among government officials. As a result, the demand for cannabis continued to be met through the black market.

After Myanmar gained independence from British rule in 1948, the government continued to regulate the sale and consumption of cannabis through the Opium Law of 1948. The law prohibited the possession and sale of cannabis without a license, which was granted only to registered users with a medical prescription. Despite this regulation, the demand for cannabis continued to grow in the country.

In recent years, Myanmar has faced significant challenges related to drug trafficking, including the cultivation and export of cannabis. The government has taken steps to combat drug trafficking, including the destruction of cannabis fields and the arrest of drug traffickers. However, the problem persists, and the country continues to face challenges related to drug abuse and addiction.
