In a country that regularly executes people and is currently locking up illegal immigrants without criminal records while snatch squads roam the streets of cities deemed not to be politically aligned with those in power, this has to be one of the more colourblind articles of the year, nevermind its appalling ai generated graphic and the hastily re-edited nature of the obviously AI generated article itself.

Yes some of the countries it mentions do have draconian laws but with headlines within the article that say things like…

The Sticky Bottom Line: Sovereignty Doesn’t Excuse Barbarism

As we say in the UK “pot call kettle black”

I could pick apart the “article” for the next 3 hours but i don’t have the energy or inclination.

Writing from Indonesia I would suggest there is virtually a 0% chance that they’ll execute Shaw. Recent judicial decisions, in Bali especially, where they are having a huge problem with “Bules” smuggling & producing  all forms of restricted compounds actually indicate a move towards a solution that includes a short sharp shock in an, yes undoubtedly unpleasant Indonesian prison although I don’t recall anybody recently saying the US prison system was a particularly pleasant place to be either and then they are sent home .

Let’s also remember why many (not all)  of these countries developed particularly harsh anti-cannabis policies in the first place. US pressure on the UN from the 50’s onwards combined with  war on drugs policies tied in with foreign aid throughout the same period tied in a culture that suited autocratic administrations that became increasingly ingrained into policy thinking to preserve geo-political support from the US.

Finally I’d suggest and especially in this new US political environment that it is time for some of our less savvy US friends to actually think for a moment before they get on a plane. The age of US exceptionalism is rapidly drawing to a close and you are now like the rest of us, you actually have to pay attention to what’s happening outside the picket fence, otherwise you will indeed suffer the consequences.

With regard to the graphic for the second time in the last six weeks i refer you to the Twain-ism

“God created war so that Americans would learn geography,”

Jarred Shaw is a 35-year-old American basketball player who helped his team win Indonesia’s 2023 Basketball League championship. He’s also a Texan with Crohn’s disease—a chronic inflammatory bowel condition that causes debilitating pain and has no cure. Like many Crohn’s patients who’ve exhausted conventional treatments, Shaw found relief through cannabis. Specifically, he used cannabis gummies to manage his symptoms and maintain some quality of life while pursuing his athletic career overseas.

In May 2025, Indonesian law enforcement arrested Shaw after he received a package containing over 100 cannabis gummies. He now faces the potential death penalty. Not life in prison—though that would be absurd enough for medicine. Not deportation—though that would be the rational response for a foreigner possessing a controlled substance. Death. By firing squad. For treating his incurable medical condition with a plant that’s legal for medical use in 38 U.S. states and counting.

The gummies weighed 869 grams total, which Indonesian authorities used to charge him with possessing essentially a kilogram of marijuana—despite the fact that most of that weight came from sugar, gelatin, and other non-cannabis ingredients in the edibles. As Shaw himself noted in an interview with The Guardian, “They’re making it seem like I’m this big drug dealer. Why would I bring the candy here to sell? It was for personal use.”

For fools like Cannabis.net who publish this garbage it is worth reminding them that there is nuanced cannabis debate and discussion in Indonesia, but like elsewhere the politics is always somewhat harder to sort out. I doubt the Cannabis.net editorial team will take the time to read the following all the through as some of the words may be a bit too big for them.
