I saw a social media post about a basketball player in Indonesia facing the death penalty for being caught with THC edibles. What other countries are like that, so I can avoid them? High Flyer Dear High Flyer: Possession? No, but some might for distribution. Still, any stoner thinking about traveling (and smuggling) internationally should research cannabis laws at potential des- tinations. Asian and Middle Eastern countries generally have different views on the plant than the United States or western Europe. A 34-year-old American basketball player found that out recently after getting arrested in Indo- nesia, where he was playing professionally, for owning dozens of THC edibles and allegedly admitting an intent to sell them. He’s reportedly facing life imprisonment or the death penalty. And we all remember Brittney Griner’s stint in a Russian jail after getting caught with a vape pen. Countries popular among American tour- ists that will jail you over small amounts of weed include Japan, Indonesia, the Philip- pines, Singapore, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates. Smoking a joint after your hair transplant in Istanbul? Straight to jail (for two to fi ve years). Caught with weed in your pocket on the Tokyo metro? Straight to jail (for up to seven years). It’s a risk you should always weigh before traveling, even in America. Dear Stoner: I’m obsessed with drinking water and staying hydrated, but I still like smoking weed. How much does a joint or a few bowls dehydrate my body, and how much water do I need to make up for it? Aqua Girl Dear Aqua Girl: Something tells me you’re drinking enough water to counteract any dehydration brought by smoking weed, but it’s an interesting question. Whether you treat your body like a microchip or a punch- ing bag, hydration is always a key to recovery. And good news: cannabis doesn’t technically dehydrate your body. Although THC dries out our mouths and disrupts saliva, making us feel parched, our bodies actually aren’t any more dehydrated than they were, as “dehydration” is when your body loses more water and electro- lytes than it replaces. As someone constantly drinking water, you don’t have much to worry about, other than temporary cotton mouth and anxiety-ridden trips to public bathrooms.
