Seth Rogen reveals he is afraid of S'pore's drug laws: 'They will literally kill you'
Canadian actor Seth Rogen revealed that the only time he took a break from smoking cannabis was during a trip to Singapore over a decade ago, due to the country's strict drug laws.
Appearing on The Howard Stern Show on March 26, he joked that he abstained because Singapore would "kill you if you smoke in that country."
He added, "They put a little thing in your passport when you arrive that says: 'If we find drugs on you, we will execute you'."
Stern remarked that such laws act as a strong deterrent against drug trafficking.
Rogen, best known for his role in the 2007 film Superbad, admitted it was a "scary walk through the airport in Singapore," fearing he might have accidentally brought cannabis with him.
According to the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB), cannabis is addictive and harmful, and should remain illegal.
Possession or consumption of cannabis in Singapore can result in up to 10 years' imprisonment and/or a $20,000 fine, while trafficking offences can carry the death penalty.
Recently, a man was arrested after drugs, including approximately 6.89kg of cannabis, were found in a private residence near Cavenagh Road. He faces a potential death penalty for trafficking.
"If you ever have a drug problem, go to Singapore," Rogen quipped.
