Cannabis in Angola
Cannabis is illegal in Angola. The drug is locally referred to as diamba or liamba.[1]
British explorer David Livingstone wrote in 1858: "The Portuguese in Angola have such a belief in its deleterious effects that the use of it by a slave is considered a crime."[2] Cannabis is the most common illicit drug in Angola, and is grown in almost every province of the country.[3]
