    Also very likely he was going to sell it.

    I’m for legalising weed, but trying to import it to a country that is notorious for executing people for even small amounts is fucking moronic.

      144 people for about a week, per the article.

      That’s like 1500 dollars of weed. Hardly worth attempting to smuggle it unless it’s for personal use for a good long while.

        Are you sure it’s that cheap in Singapore if it’s illegal there? A kilo is about 20 grand here in Estonia, has been for ages. When buying by the gram anyway, I don’t know anyone who buys it by the kilo. Assume it would be a bit cheaper them. And we don’t execute smugglers, it’s just illegal.

        I’d assume if they kill smugglers it’ll be way more expensive in Singapore
