Although Cannabis use is illegal in Egypt, it is often used privately by many. Law enforcements are often particularly lax when it comes to cannabis smokers, and its use is a part of the common culture for many people in Egypt.[1] However, Large-scale smuggling of cannabis is punishable by death, while penalties for possessing even small amounts can also be severe.[citation needed] Despite this, these laws are not enforced in many parts of Egypt, where cannabis is often consumed openly in local cafes.[2][3]
