Malaysia

Since the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, capital punishment has been the highest punishment for anyone caught with enough weight of any of the drugs in the act.

According to the act, 200 grams of cannabis or cannabis resin equals mandatory death by hanging. Possession alone could lead to five years in prison and a fine.

In 2016, a man in Malaysia was sent to the gallows by the High Court in Kuala Lumpur, the nation’s capital.
