Harms of Cannabis

Cannabis is harmful and addictive. It can damage the brain and is linked to serious mental health issues, thus reinforcing Singapore’s stance to keep it illegal.

Singapore's anti-drug laws on Cannabis

Singapore enforces strict zero‑tolerance cannabis laws under the Misuse of Drugs Act, classifying it as a Class A drug - with penalties including up to 10 years' imprisonment or a S$20,000 fine for possession/consumption, and the death penalty for trafficking over specified thresholds.

Negative outcomes of Cannabis legalisation

Legalising cannabis has not reduced youth usage - it even normalises harmful behaviour, increases risk, and its touted economic benefits fail to materialise.

Understanding "medical Cannabis"

Singapore clarifies that raw cannabis isn’t medically validated or safe; only tightly regulated cannabinoid pharmaceuticals (like CBD-based treatments) may be used, and only under strict assessment and approval.
