    Singapore makes it extremely clear this is the punishment for smuggling any drugs.

    This is what the paper disimberkment form used to look like before they switched to an electronic version. I think the electronic version says something similar.

        It probably is fucked up. But if you know the consequences of getting caught, why would you risk it? If freedom to do drugs is important either be in a jurisdiction that is lenient.

        I mean you can try to change the laws and try to protest and get political change, but that wouldn’t leave you much off in Singapore’s authoritarian air.

        So the question is, was the hit of recreational drug that important to take the risk?

        I’m not saying what or what shouldn’t be, I’m just saying knowing you know what IS, why would you? It’s like you know lava is hot, but you step in it anyway because it should be a morally a volcanic rock.
