- Cannabis abuse in Singapore is rising. The Central Narcotics Bureau says the amount of cannabis seized in 2022 has already topped last year's amount and consumption of the drug is creeping back to pre-COVID levels. With borders reopening after the COVID-19 pandemic,
authorities here are facing more challenges. Read more: cna.asia/3Fc2DbA

*whips out rattan
Been saying that for a long time.
Still a much better place to live than most American cities.
@@thedarkenigma3834Not if you can’t have weed it isn’t.
@@thedarkenigma3834As American,I unfortunately agree;
Zero tolerance to propaganda, say NO to propaganda
"same penalties apply to singaporeans/PR who consume drugs overseas"....
For God Sake,man,if this is for real its far worse than living in North Korea.
A singaporean National who goes abroad on holidays and smoke a joint in another country,when return to Singapore can face 10 years in prison...???!!!
This is completely bonkers.
This is worse than North Korea,China and Nazy Germany put together.
This people in Singapore has no freedom what so ever,even in a foreign country.
This his against human rights.
And this country says that his one of the most advance in the world...only in banking and AI. The rest its living in Middle Ages.
How can in the 21rst Century this dictators who decide their people free will,freedom of choice being very well regarded by the international Comunity...??!!! Jesus Christ have Mercy on this poor people of Singapore.
No such thing as cannabis abuse. You guys are still living in the 1950's?
The death penalty has been around for the last 30 years but yet nothing has changed. Instead, the supply and demand for drugs keeps going up.

You can check our drug crime rate to other countries
@@verycursedplane6557 Some of those statistics might not even be accurate
@@qdgnd so how is your statistics or presumptions about such punishments being ineffective any more accurate
@@verycursedplane6557 You just have to look at what is happening around the world and also sg, after fighting against drugs for the last 50 to 100 years, there is no improvement at all. This is something that is not possible to stop, the government can only arrest some people every now and then. They can't really do much to stop the drug trade. On top of that, cannabis is legal and very common in many other countries even in places where its still illegal. There is no right or wrong, its only a matter of different opinion.
Legalize it. It is a sacred plant that can help people. The key is education and teaching people the benefits of using it for meditation and medication practices vs just recreational.
How does cannabis help someone when used recreationally? I see no benefits. Singapore has used cannabis based medication on a few occasions before for epilepsy
@@verycursedplane6557The benefit is feeling good, reducing stress, and not being bored.
0:38 dirt weed lol
It is not a drug
Why not legalize it? Alcohol is way more harmful but legal in Singapore.
No, cannabis is more harmful. Thus it is prohibited.
@@linhwang6651 Not according to a scientific medical paper published by The Lancet. Alcohol is at the top of the list of harmful chemicals consumed by humans.
@@mrtienphysics666 , Experts will interpreter that finding of The Lancet better. They will look at other aspects to see which is overall more harmful to the society and individuals. Nobody knows what will happen if same large number of people consume cannabis, which is less studied. It took years to realise the harmful effects of tobacco and to reduce the consumption. It makes no sense to allows the cannabis to be smoke widely like tobacco?
@@linhwang6651 So it makes sense to stick to a more harmful substance, just because the harm is certain and is known?
@@mrtienphysics666 , No. There are other reasons to consider. Alcohol consumption is prohibited in Islam. Can non-muslims be prohibited from drinking alcohol, which is widely consumed in many cultures and societies? It is clear that no government thinks of that unpopular measure.
I’m sorry but those aren’t even Reggie’s to begin with. It’s sad to see ppl getting jailed for selling bricks smh
How is it even giving any benefit to people. It’s a recreational drug which just adds more harm. Singapore has used cannabis for medical purposes before in cases of epilepsy.
Is there a way to test whether the food contains cannabis or safe to eat? If there is no way to test, it is very hard for consumers to know whether they have eaten any food contains cannabis especially in Thailand.
Have you ever thought of asking? Like come with translations and have a frank chat?
There is a big difference between drug "use" and drug "abuse".
Stop trying to mislead people.
No its sem sem😂
Singapore was great county in asean but not great human rights 😂
Good luck singaporeans stress every day until must take drugs
Embarsing for singapore people
Witch Hunt Report😆
Some sgporeans may be totally ignorant (the not so young ones, like seniors). A visual upon disembarking showing examples of candies before they pick up their baggage can be placed along the passageway, with wording stating them as drugs may be helpful as some seniors (some youngsters) may really be ignorant.
Its a general knowledge you dont have to explain it
Legalize legalize legalize lor, why so backwards??
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Good it should be legal everywhere
Legalising cannabis seen as progression is true. Progression to failure and an unhealthy population addicted to drugs.
@YahvakinHansen light punishment is equal to no punishment. We send a strong message to people instead. And drug abuse is not punished the same as trafficking which is the one which carry death
Yap yap yap
Barbaric laws
jail and cane them!
People go mental and instead of getting help from programs they rather choose illegal drugs. Who to blame?
ok braindead government fanboy
You high?
