What country is the least tolerant of Cannabis

Malaysia –Malaysia will order sentenced to death if someone prescribe medical marijuana, a matter that’s being hotly argued as a man’s life swings in the balance for selling cannabis oil to patients in their need.

Egypt – Since 1877, Cannabis has been forbidden in Egypt and it’s still serious about imposing those laws. A British national was given the death penalty in 2013 for trafficking hashish.

Iran –Iran is as strict against cannabis usage as it is against everything else that might be considered fun. It’s not surprising at all. Get caught with weed here, you’ll lose your wallet and maybe even your head.

Japan

In Japan, Weed is illegal & constrained in 1948. Up to 5 years captivity and a fine is applied for using and possession. Sale, cultivation, and transport are punishable by 7–10 years captivity and a fine.

Pakistan

Cannabis is Illegal in Pakistan, but often unenforced but the smoking of hashish in Peshawar and the northern parts of Pakistan tends to be tolerated. Any people can go to jail for up to six months if found with pot in other parts of the country.

Indonesia

In Indonesia pot is illegal. It was banned in 1927. If caught in possession, minimum sentence of 4 years in prison (extra fines may apply). However, if the user is immature, they may instead be sentenced to rehabilitation.

Philippines – The Philippines has strict anti-drug laws like many neighboring countries. The death punishment is used liberally. With over 12,000 Filipinos apparently killed in the country’s drug war since 2016.

Singapore – Everyone knows that Singapore is a great place to visit and is warmly accepting of all the cultures except the drug users. Drug laws in Singapore is very strict. Capital punishment is applied liberally to Singapore’s Mistreatment of Drugs Act. Cannabis use can significantly reduce your lifespan.

Ukraine

Weed is illegal in Ukraine also. Possession of up to 5 g or cultivation of 10 plants is an administrative (rather than a criminal) offense, but imprisonment of up to 15 days is still possible.

Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is also strict and illegal  about weed. Use and possession for personal use of any sort of recreational drugs is punishable by imprisonment if someone get caught. Detention for personal use can demand jail time of six months or more. Selling and trafficking high amounts of drugs regularly result in stricter prison time or even execution, though just executions have been rare. Outsiders (foreigners) who use drugs might be deported.

Serbia

Weed is illegal & least tolerant country. Possession punishable by fine or detention of up to 3 years. Trade and transport punishable by imprisonment of 3–12 years. Cultivation punishable by imprisonment from 6 months to 5 years. Higher consequences for organized crime.

Do remember, cannabis laws are always fluctuating, just keep an eye on the local laws around you and wherever you visit. Caution will always be crucial, even if cannabis is permitted where you stay.
