Singapore also hangs people for possessing weed.
- decimalenough 5mo agoOnly for quantities consistent with trafficking, meaning a minimum of 500 grams. You won't be hanged for a joint. You may, however, be sent to the Drug Rehabilitation Centre, which is co-located with and effectively a part of Changi Prison, and about as pleasant. Most first-time offenders get away with a probation scheme called the Enhanced Direct Supervision Order though.

- redleader55 5mo agoOthers have already replied this is not exactly the case and it's trafficking weed and other drugs that gets you hanged. That being said, I'm not so chill about weed. Weed people, like smokers before them, don't consider weed to be a big problem for the people around them and ignore anything you might have against it. That means you'll be laughed at when you ask neighbors to stop smoking two floors below you, to stop growing the plants in their tub, etc. It also means you'll have to go through a lot of places that smell like shit because people smoke weed there often.
- randomNumber7 5mo agoOwning 500g is enough to get someone hanged. A proof of trafficking or selling is not necessary. It is exactly as I said. Please don't spread misinformation.

- qurren 5mo agoAnd that makes it a super pleasant place to live, I don't ever have to smell that junk on the street. I prefer the smell of good food and that's pretty much what all of Singapore smells like.
