Singapore’s drug laws are severe. The penalties for trafficking illegal narcotics range from a prison term to execution. And if you’re caught using any illicit narcotic, including cannabis, you may find yourself in compulsory rehab.

She also explores how the law on trafficking is applied, meets the sister of a man who was hanged after a heroin conviction, and learns that it’s also illegal for a Singaporean to consume drugs overseas.
