The 7 Countries With The Strictest Weed Laws

What are the countries with the strictest weed laws?

6. Turkey

An increasingly conservative country, Turkey has relatively strict laws when it comes to drug use. Possession or sale of any illegal drug—notably heroin, cocaine, and marijuana—receives a 4 to 24 year prison sentence.

You will receive a minimum prison sentence of 10 years for selling marijuana, and 15 years for selling to a minor.

With strict norms regarding women’s clothing and homosexuality, it’s no surprise that Turkish authorities are no fan of the ganj.

Unfortunately, as the rule of law declines in Turkey, this nation may earn a more permanent place as on the list of countries with the strictest weed laws.

  • There's nothing mind opening about marijuana use unless you mean making the mind one large vacuous space that causes it to cease reasonable functioning and consideration for others. I was laid back about others' pot smoking until the increasingly lenient laws in the U.S. meant that there's hardly any enforcement of the pot smoking in my NONSMOKING apartment building. I've heard similar complaints from others in their apartment buildings. Sorry pot smokers, but as long as you force me to inhale your noxious fumes in my apartment building, parking lots, any public public venue whatsoever, I will be firmly against the use of marijuana and will seek greater enforcement and punishments. It's your selfishness and lack of consideration that has made it this way.

  • Laura you ignorant slut! Your inane diatribe on how this medicinal and spiritual plant that has been mankind friend for thousands of years is both ill informed and ignorant. Not sure if you have any facts at your disposal, as there are none listed , but your little baby annoyance is as amusing as it is ignorant. I will enjoy watching the world wake up and change around the close minded retardation that is your voice and that of your “kind”. Fade away oh mouse squeak of activism, scurry off to your creatively bereft and humorless hole of self unawaness and get buried in the rubbish of “no one cares”
