- The tables of Decreto-Lei n.º 15/93 are what this cell reads against, and the sibling cells of this table establish their version from the Infarmed compilation, whose own footnotes carry amendments up to Lei n.º 77/2014, de 11 de novembro. As those tables stand after Lei n.º 77/2014, no later amending instrument was available to those cells, and the new psychoactive substances list is separately established there as at 8 September 2022, the date the republished annex to Portaria n.º 232/2022 took effect. That does not rule out a later amendment made or commenced since.
