One of my rules for travel is don't go to places where the laws are basically selectively not enforced for the convenience of tourists.


I have a very similar rule, which is why I can no longer visit my family and friends in the US...


Bali and Singapore will execute tourists for having drugs, so you can go there I guess.


I’m not sure many tourists are traveling with quantities sufficient to qualify for that treatment.

More likely you’ll face a fine or a strong talking to if you get caught at the airport with some small quantity of pot.


Asia? A lecture? For marijuana?

You're getting banned for life.


Well, depending on your ethnicity of course. In Singapore I was just told off for a small bag with maybe a gram of weed left in my pocket after flying in from Amsterdam, they did not seem particularly interested in the situation but stressed that it should never happen again.

I’d be shocked if the airport experience at Bali was really different, although they would probably want a bribe from you.
