Some countries will simply fine you, it could be a lot or it could be a ridiculously small amount, whereas <strong>other countries have prison time and even the death penalty!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Australia<\/strong> has some restrictive laws when it comes to cannabis; if you\u2019re caught with seeds or gear on you when entering the country you will be kicked out and exiled from Australia.

It\u2019s extremely hard to get this kind of permit, and although Germany has quite a high population of cannabis users, recent polls have showed that <strong>over two thirds of Germany doesn\u2019t support the legalization of cannabis<\/strong>, and if you\u2019re caught with cannabinoids in your system when driving (which can happen even if you haven\u2019t smoked in a while) they can take you down to the station, do an invasive blood test, a psychomotor test and then let you go \u2013 most likely without your car keys.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4818\" title=\"Countries that Stoners Should NEVER Visit - France\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growbarato.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cannabis-francia.jpg\" alt=\"Countries that Stoners Should NEVER Visit\" width=\"387\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cannabis-francia.jpg 833w, https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cannabis-francia-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cannabis-francia-600x326.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 387px) 100vw, 387px\" \/><strong>France<\/strong>, surprisingly, also has quite a prohibitionist outlook on cannabis, maybe one of the strictest ones in Europe \u2013 a simple t-shirt with a weed leaf on it can cause you many issues; <strong>the same applies to stickers, keychains or anything else related to cannabis that is visible to the public eye.<\/strong> They don\u2019t differentiate between hard and soft drugs, and possessing cannabis can lead to a ten year prison sentence. This is simply what the law states, as it seems that if you get caught once they will let you off with a simple warning and the 10 year prison sentence is rarely enforced.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-4820\" title=\"Countries that Stoners Should NEVER Visit - Saudi Arabia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growbarato.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cannabis-en-arabia-saudi.jpg\" alt=\"Countries that Stoners Should NEVER Visit\" width=\"450\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cannabis-en-arabia-saudi.jpg 791w, https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cannabis-en-arabia-saudi-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/cannabis-en-arabia-saudi-600x276.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/>In <strong>Saudi Arabia<\/strong> any drug, whether it\u2019s a hard or soft drug, is punished with severe punishments such as years in prison and being deported in a best-case scenario, but <strong>if luck isn\u2019t on your side you could also receive a helping of lashings<\/strong>. If you\u2019re charged with trafficking then you can say goodbye to your loved ones, because the penalty for moving drugs in Saudi Arabia is decapitation!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4819\" title=\"Countries that Stoners Should NEVER Visit - Indonesia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growbarato.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/indonesia-cannabis.jpg\" alt=\"Countries that Stoners Should NEVER Visit\" width=\"330\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/indonesia-cannabis.jpg 626w, https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/indonesia-cannabis-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/indonesia-cannabis-600x383.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" \/>Ah, <strong>Indonesia<\/strong>; who wouldn\u2019t love to go and light up a fat one in Bali? Probably not anyone who wants to stay alive. In Indonesia they don\u2019t discriminate between tourists and locals; <strong>if you\u2019re caught smoking cannabis you will be charged as a local, and you could land in prison for a good 4 to 20 years<\/strong>. Oh, and if you\u2019re thinking of selling cannabis, forget about it; the punishment for trafficking cannabis is the death penalty.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>Taiwan<\/strong> both using and possessing small quantities can land you in prison for up to seven years \u2013 if you have more than a small quantity then you can also get the death sentence, but <strong>apparently by bribing the police you can easily get out of this issue<\/strong> \u2013 we don\u2019t recommend testing that theory!<\/p>\n<p><strong>China<\/strong> is a country in which it\u2019s <strong>easy to find heroin, cocaine and meth depending on where abouts in china you are<\/strong>, however cannabis is another story. Small quantities of cannabis can lead to a fine and some time behind bars, but if you\u2019re caught with more than 50g of weed on you then China will be the last place you see \u2013 death penalty!<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>Oman<\/strong>, any <strong>consumer of any sort of drug will receive 20 years in prison and 50 lashes<\/strong>. In extreme cases simple possession of drugs can also lead to the death penalty. If you\u2019re caught trafficking any kind of drug you will have to do your 20 years in prison and then they\u2019ll deport you back to your country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Singapore<\/strong> is a country that every stoner should be well aware of: you will go straight to prison and have to pay a heavy fine up to 20 thousand Singapore dollars, and if you\u2019re found with over 500g of cannabis or any other drug you will be sentenced straight to death, which in this country is by <strong>hanging<\/strong>. Having any sort of instruments or devices used in drug trafficking, storing or making is also punishable by a prison sentence.<\/p>\n<p>All of these places are absolutely beautiful and amazing to visit, so if you can manage to do without green for a while you should definitely visit them; if you can\u2019t stomach it, then don\u2019t even attempt to go to these places with cannabis on you!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Author<\/strong>: Fabio Inga<br \/>\n<strong>Translation<\/strong>: Ciara Murphy<\/p>\n<div style='text-align:center' class='yasr-auto-insert-visitor'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this article we\u2019re going to talk about countries that stoners should never visit; the most dangerous countries in the world for cannabis lovers \u2013 these places are much closer than you thought, so we\u2019re going to give you a list of places to take off of your holiday destination list.
