You can be killed for smoking weed in these countries. So take a tolerance break when visiting.
Southeast Asian governments have some of the toughest drug laws on the planet. Myanmar is no exception.
In fact, a vegetable seller named Nur Alam Mohd Hussain was found guilty of possessing five pounds of cannabis which he said was “fictitious.”
The sentence he was given was death, which would be the first death sentence for drugs in Myanmar in the last ten years.
According to Hussain, he was making a delivery for a third person when police surrounded him at a gas station. He claims he thought the envelopes given to him were holding stolen car parts.
However, Myanmar authorities weren’t buying it. They say he should have been able to smell 5 pounds.
According to New Straits Times, by not reporting it, “it can be concluded that he had knowledge that the cannabis was for trafficking.”
