Cannabis Laws In Malaysia
Cannabis is illegal in Malaysia, and the country enforces some of the strictest drug laws in the world. Possession, sale, and consumption of cannabis are punishable under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. Possession of 200 grams or more is presumed to be trafficking, a crime that carries the mandatory death penalty. Even possession of small amounts can lead to severe penalties, including heavy fines and long prison sentences. The Malaysian government maintains a firm stance against drugs, emphasizing strict enforcement and penalties as a deterrent to drug-related activities.
Buy Weed Before You Travel
Having already travelled South-East Asia before, I knew how easy it was to locate weed in countries such as Cambodia, Vietnam and the south of Thailand. However on this trip we decided to go to Malaysia, a predominantly islamic country with strict drug laws.
We were planning to spend a week in Penang so we wanted at least enough weed to last us that time. Having been in Thailand for the first month and getting used to being able to buy weed for cheap whenever I want I made the decision to just buy all of my weed in Thailand and take it with me. We could have flew to Malaysia but in an attempt to save money and find an easier border to cross we decided to go via bus. Avoid airports if you use this method and take the bus in from surrounding countries.
Street Dealers In Penang
The drug laws coupled with the polices latest crackdown on drug use in seaside resorts has meant that the prices have skyrocketed and the availability has dropped.
Ask the tuk-tuk / motorbike drivers and they all gave me a similar response, they said it is possible to get just very hard, they were quoting me around $12 per stick of weed which is not a lot of weed, or about $40 for a decent amount. They also said that it would have to be dropped off and would take about an hour.
The best tip I received was off a Malay man selling DVD’s outside of the pub I was in, he said to go to the beach and ask one of the beach boys (local working on the beach), however he was very specific about which ethnicity of beach boy to ask, he said to not ask the Chinese or Indian beach boys, but if I found a Malay (Malaysian) beach boy then I would probably be in luck.
Learn How To Buy Drugs Online
It is possible to get weed in Penang so don’t worry about not having smoke when you visit Malaysia. One final tip for when you do get weed is to head straight to a 7/11 and buy the chips more butter cookies and a lucozade sport orange, believe me you will thank me later, they go perfectly with a spliff.
