Well, he still has his life. It's mandatory death sentence for drug trafficking in Malaysia and Singapore.

I am surprised that Google news or DS or major BD news not covering it. (For a moment I thought it's very old news).

As of now, cannabis is legal throughout Bangladesh, and is in common use among people. It is known as ganja or hashish, and drunk in bhang.

Islam does not ban cannabis. People in prophet’s time people use to smoke Hukkah, and had prophet’s blessing, so cannabis is halal in Islam.

any comment ?

I am pretty sure more than 90% of the students in Canadian universities tried Cannabis. And most of them smoke them very often. My understanding is that the drug is not as addictive as tobacco and also a lot less proven harmful affects.
Please note, no one ever gets aggressive on Marijuana unlike Alcohol...

Just being from a Canadian system it seems like a really harsh punishment.

Absolutely. My friend even smoked with his professor (that's what he claims). I gave up but whenever I visit Canada, the good old days tempts me.

This is indeed a harsh punishment. A person's life is totally destroyed just cause he carried some stuff. He didn't murder, rape, abused, or did any of these big crime.
