Find out about the legal status of medical and recreational marijuana in Singapore. Is marijuana illegal? Better safe than sorry!

MEDICAL MARIJUANA IN SINGAPORE

The production, sale and possession of any form of medicinal marijuana products are illegal in Singapore.

RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA IN SINGAPORE

The cultivation, sale, and possession of cannabis for recreational purposes are illegal in Singapore.

Singapore is known for very harsh penalties for drug related crimes. Possession of cannabis is highly illegal in Singapore and can lead to serious fines and even imprisonment. Knowing that possession of more than 500 grams of cannabis can even lead to death penalty, you might want to just stay away from it.

We are not aware of any possible law changes in the (near) future in Singapore regarding medical and/or recreational cannabis.
