Trevor Soh Li Wen, 24, who had taken cannabis while on holiday in Amsterdam and had cannabis at his home in Singapore was sentenced to six months jail. Singaporeans are not allowed to take drugs not only in Singapore but also while abroad.

The university student was arrested two days after returning from Amsterdam on 27 May this year. He admitted to smoking weed in Amsterdam everyday for four days, according to a police investigation.

Central Narcotics Bureau officers searched his flat and found an improvised smoking apparatus and other items in his bedroom. They also found a container with at least 4.22g of vegetable matter containing cannabis.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Sarah Chua said Soh started smoking cannabis when he was first introduced to it in junior college. He stopped while in the army and started again a few months before his arrest. His urine samples were found to contain drugs. Full story...
