  • Make cigarettes illegal and you'd too call them a gateway drug. it's all about classifications and perceptions on what is deemed to be illegal. Both alcohol and tobacco will get you high but we dont call them gateway vices to sth more dagerous and illegal. in fact, if we were to be consistent with our stance on THC/CBD, then we too should be banning alcohol and tobacco for their harmful (and arguable more harmful than cannabis) properties.

    I lived in Europe for 32 years. Holland for 11. The problems from alcoholism and drunk people outweighs the issues of cannabis use. Those on weed are cool, friendly, mostly intelligent people. I've smoked it with a judge, a few doctors, lawyers and even a high ranking military officer. Most creative people such as musicians, composers, art directors smoke a joint every once in a while. The evils of alcohol and gambling are most destructive. You CANNOT overdose on weed. You just go to sleep. It doesn't make you violent, but has a calming laid back effect. Those who have tried it will attest to what I said. So go on, try it at least once in your life.
  • wtf. people from singapore are not allowed by their government to enjoy that laws in other countrys are differrent?.....i mean....they punish you if you get caught smoking weed in a country where its LEGAL!? thats crazy.....
  • Singapore has very draconian laws. I remember about 10 years ago I read a news report about 2 Singaporean Universty students who studied in Australia. On their last night in Australia they went to a student party and smoked some weed. a few days later upon their return to Singapore they were Blood tested which showed they had Cannabis in their bodies. They both received about 10 years in prison. So basically, it is illegal for Singaporeans to consume Cannabis even whilst NOT IN Singapore.
  • I'm so proud to be Thai citizen. Land of Freedom knowledge . ❤😁🙏🏻🇹🇭
  • @bethlee271
    I like how when each store owners are being asked if singaporeans do go and try weed, they just happily out them and say yes 😂😂😂
  • @mathieug6136
    I love the opening scene where she says "I'm just smelling it!!" and then react like if was acetone lol
  • @crankin77
    Such a conservative Singaporean view & story. Testing everything if it has possible THC residue. No wonder 500k Singaporeans head to Thailand every year to feel liberated & enjoy life.
  • @skykser
    I hate how the video producer paints THC in a bad light using the sound effects but get 4 Thais to take THC regardless...
  • @alankhow1213
    What right side of the law you talking about? You think only Singaporeans watch CNA insider? More like some Singapore government propaganda against cannabis
  • @stehenry5634
    Jailed or fined even though a Singaporean consumed outside of the country. What a ridiculous policy.
  • @nsebast
    Cannabis is healthy in moderate amount. It fights inflammation and gives you a good rest. If cigarettes and alcohol is legal, there is no reason for cannabis not to be legal. Just tax them.

    Ganja Seller: "Yes, we do actually get Singaporean customers here quite frequently" Shanmugam: (heavy breathing)
  • @deschan2246
    Its too harsh to put Cannabis into same offence category as heroin.
  • Why does the Thai guy have subtitles when he speaks? His English is impeccable and perfectly coherent! Strange
  • Alcohol is the deadliest drug out there , cannabis is on the opposite end of that spectrum
  • Reminded me of the story of Plato’s cave. People in cave always try to kill the ones who’ve been out.
  • wow this propaganda piece is getting ripped apart in the comments 😂
