  • Japan on Random Situations When You Get Caught With Pot In Foreign Countries

    (#9) Japan

    • Tokyo

    If you think Malaysia's pot laws are tough, just wait till you hear about Japan. Japan frowns mightily on drugs of any kind, and weed is no exception. If you're nabbed with even a small amount of cannabis (less than a gram), you can be sentenced to five years of hard physical labor. The nation's drug laws are largely an influence of the American occupation of the 1940s and 1950s. Cannabis itself, specifically hemp, actually have a long history in Japan, but puritanical, World War II-era American attitudes about the substance have mostly buried its historical significance.

  • Canada on Random Situations When You Get Caught With Pot In Foreign Countries

    (#2) Canada

    • Ottawa

    On June 19, 2018, Canada's Senate passed their federal government's legal cannabis bill. The law lets adults purchase and use cannabis, although edibles are still off limits; they are scheduled to be legalized in 2019.

    There are different laws for each of the 13 provinces. For example, in Newfoundland and Labrador, adults 19 and older are allowed to buy cannabis from private retailers. You can smoke it in private, but it is still illegal to smoke or consume in public. In these provinces, residents are also allowed to grow up to four personal plants. 

    In Quebec, on the other hand, you only need to be 18 to purchase cannabis, but growing personal plants is illegal. If you are traveling in Canada, be sure to check in with whatever province you are staying in's local laws regarding cannabis before toking up. 

  • China on Random Situations When You Get Caught With Pot In Foreign Countries

    (#10) China

    • Beijing

    China has long been a country invested in image. And the image of a drug user, even if that drug is weed, is almost universally unwelcome in China, and the country's cannabis laws reflect that. If you're caught with pot, you stand the chance of being sent to a government-run rehab facility. But these are not cushy, Betty Ford-style digs. According to the New York Times, "the minimum stay is two years, and life is an unremitting gauntlet of physical abuse and forced labor without any drug treatment."

  • Malaysia on Random Situations When You Get Caught With Pot In Foreign Countries

    (#8) Malaysia

    • Kuala Lumpur

    Malaysia has zero tolerance for any drug, and they have extremely harsh punishments for those caught with them. Depending on the type of substance and the amount one has in their possession, Malaysian authorities can institute anything from fines and imprisonment to a caning and even the death penalty. 200 grams or more of cannabis is grounds for a death sentence in Malaysia. There has been a tentative discussion among some of the country's doctors about the merits of Mary Jane for medicinal use. But in a nation with such uncompromising drug laws, don't hold your breath that Kuala Lumpur will become the next Amsterdam anytime soon.

  • North Korea on Random Situations When You Get Caught With Pot In Foreign Countries

    (#7) North Korea

    • Pyongyang

    It's hardly surprising that a country as isolated, insular, and highly secretive as North Korea has kept mum about their feelings surrounding weed. Rumors abound that the country is something of a "weed smoker's paradise," with pot widely available at public markets and smoked openly pretty much wherever and whenever a smoker decides to light up. But a lax attitude toward weed consumption doesn't mean it's legal. "There should be no doubt that drugs, including marijuana, are illegal here," a Swedish diplomat living in North Korea told Business Insider. "One can't buy it legally and it would be a criminal offense to smoke it." The consequences of such an offense, however, are unknown.

  • Georgia on Random Situations When You Get Caught With Pot In Foreign Countries

    (#1) Georgia

    • Tbilisi

    On July 30, 2018, the country of Georgia reviewed its constitution and ruled that "consumption of marijuana is an action protected by the right to free personality" and citizens cannot be given citations for possessing the drug. 

    Citizens are still unable to cultivate or sell the product, but simply possessing cannabis is completely legal. This makes Georgia one of the countries with the most liberal cannabis policies on Earth – only Canada and Uruguay are more lax with the substance.

About This Tool

The attitudes of countries around the world towards cannabis seem to be increasingly open. Many governments have stated that they plan to legalize cannabis use by the public, such as Mexico, Luxembourg, and the United States. As the opinions of the public and some organizations on cannabis have changed, governments in more countries have also change the corresponding control policies, but there are still many countries that hold the completely opposite attitude.

People still have not reached a consensus on the effects of cannabis on the human body. An effective policy should cut off the relationship between the cannabis trade and local criminals so that the government can manage cannabis in a legal way. The random tool will help to learn more about random situations if people get caught with cannabis in different countries.
