doodlebut Member # 11649	posted Just curious. Not like I"m a total pothead or anything but the occasional joint to make me happy would be nice. When I visit can I smoke or no? Is it against the law there?
micky azzam Member # 11209	posted you can smoke hashes.i was offered that when i went i dont know whether it is legal. but they even asked me if i want to smoke pot.you can get it anywhere
egyptian-guy Member # 9121	posted illegal
charm el feikh? Member # 10243	posted you can get it easily, and you can smoke it more openly than you can in the UK or the USA... but, yes, it is illegal.... although the cafe owner would probably get in more trouble than you. once youre there you will soon find out who, how and where.
egyptian-guy Member # 9121	posted contact me and i can get you some
Tigerlily Member # 3567	posted Yes its illigal but still many people doing it. The best is you smoke it at home, it will not bother anyone.
pubestone Member # 11655	posted we had some over there, easy to get hold of, we sat in this bar, smoking it under the stars, sharing with other Egyptians, nobody batted an eyelid
charm el feikh? Member # 10243	posted good holiday then pubestone?! welcome to the boards.
Madame M. Member # 8386	posted It's illegal but ppl do it openly in public. I believe hash is more common in Egypt though.
doodlebut Member # 11649	posted i heard of someone who is a local being put in prison for three months for smoking it in public. is that a true thing?
Madame M. Member # 8386	posted I dunno about that but I would advise against smoking it in public. Even smoking cigarettes in public is considered shameful for women by some.
nescafeaddict Member # 11183	posted No thats not true, Everyone I know smokes hashish in public. No one even looks twice, it doesnt matter if you're local or foreign. And its so easy to get, as easy as buying bread.
pubestone Member # 11655	posted well, i am western and they can consider as shameful as they like, i have my freedom and independance to make my own decisions, also to note, we were smoking with Egyptians who couldnt give a toss!!! Female or not, it really pisses me off this equality ****, means nowt to us westerners you know!! As nescafe addict said, nobiby even looked twice at us all!!
ViVaLaDiVa Member # 6818	posted No offense doodlebut,but it made me smile a little that in an other thread ur planning to wear ^extremely respectful^ and and and and here ur shocking us by saying occasionally u wouldnt mind to smoke marihuana.lol
MissSalsa Member # 10273	posted LOL what a contrast.

Semsema Member # 5415	posted Well yes hash is illegal. If caught you CAN get 6 months. This is usually suspended though. Cocaine - anything between 2 & 7 years.
ViVaLaDiVa Member # 6818	posted then u better go for coke lmao
ViVaLaDiVa Member # 6818	posted heya Charm,u better read the tread lol.then u understand my ^and and and and ^s haha
Charm el Feikh? Member # 10243	posted ok.. where is it? whats it called?

I want to be respectful of the culture so 1) I want to wear clothing that will not offend and 2) I do not want to do anything that would break any laws. How are these two things in opposition? Obviously if it is illegal than I will not do it since I don't want to disrespect the laws of a foreign country. Your statement is puzzling me. I'm genuinely confused....
ViVaLaDiVa Member # 6818	posted lol..never mind doodlebut.It was just little funny that u were about to veil urself to respect the country and its people and in another thread ur asking about the pot...as i said i didnt wanna offend u
MissSalsa Member # 10273	posted Doodlebut, i refuse to believe you don't understand. You obviously paid close attention to the fact that Egypt is a conservative country. Hence, you wish to cover yourself. So how could you have thought Pot would be legal in a MUSLIM coservative country?
ViVaLaDiVa Member # 6818	posted lmao
Charm el Feikh? Member # 10243	posted hey, hang on a minute. everywhere you go in egypt you see thousands of shisha pipes, and you smell hash countless times. at one point i found myself asking my egyptian friend one night what the laws were like about smoking hash. he basically said what i said above... its VERY common, you can get it in most shisha cafes and most people just turn a blind eye. now, im only really talking from experience in sharm, and i know sharm is a little different to the rest of egypt, but i have friends in cairo and alex and UK friends who visit hurghada, and most people seem to be of the same opinion... its easily available, not legal but not taboo... be discrete and respectful.
MissSalsa Member # 10273	posted Charm el feikh, asking doodle how she could think hash was legal in egypt is not not being disrespectful. It is merely trying to gain an insight into how and why she thought like that. "everywhere you go in egypt you see thousands of shisha pipes, and you smell hash countless times. at one point i found myself asking my egyptian friend one night what the laws were like about smoking hash. " I also smell hash countless times around my college and clubs. (London) That doesn't make me think it's legal. However, i don't think it was wrong of her to post and ask. I just find it bizarre.

So how could you have thought Pot would be legal in a MUSLIM coservative country? Refuse or not, it doesn't matter to me. Why I am being attacked here I'll never know. I came to this forum to learn more about the country, ask questions, assuming the people here are as nice as the ones I know in Cairo I never expected this type of reaction. My apologies. The few people that i do know from Egypt do smoke pot and are muslim, though obviously not strict muslim. I have no idea how Islam views pot. How could I since I know nothing about the religion. Whatever. topic closed. I'm not going to smoke it and you believe what you want about me. I'm done with this forum.

I don't find that weird at all, veiled women also smoke hash.
ViVaLaDiVa Member # 6818	posted Oh my gosh Dalia,r u for real?I have never heared of this.About guys,well yes i did,i know its common in egypt but i know on the other hand its ILLEGAL.as it is in most of the countries except holland and denmark(im not sure). Whatever,but i dont find it neither respectful,nor healthy.This is only my personal opinion
ViVaLaDiVa Member # 6818	posted doodlebut,sorry for crapping again,but in which religion is it allowed to smoke pot excuse me..I personally hv never heared of any.Actually as far as i know even smoking cigarettes is ^haram^.
Dalia* Member # 10593	posted quote: Originally posted by ViVaLaDiVa: Oh my gosh Dalia,r u for real? I have never heared of this. There are many things in Egypt that aren't obvious at first sight ...
MystricAqua Member # 11719	posted Here it is ; i currently live in egypt, cairo and im american-egyptian. My friends are mostly egyptians at least the hash rats ( i love um though!))) oh did i forget to mention im a female??? yah so anyways we hook up score and smoke in public. Look if we get caught they mostly just take away the hash and ask us to pay them some kind of money. Ive been caught by "the police " before with friends nothing really pans out and its not that big of a deal. And i cant .....find weed or pot for the life of me here....... OH ya and female girls smoke Hash too! I was really freaked out at first then I realized most girls veiled in egypt even have sex, boyfriends and drink. Some even un-veil themselves when they hit the club..... And most girls are forced to be veiled by parents or perhaps society......its a fashion now not a religious choice

How did it turn into a matter of religious ethics? There are more religions in the world than Christianity and Islam, and neither one of those specifically say "Thou shall not smoke" as far as I know. Hash is very easily attainable here, and so are cigarettes, my young grade school child can go buy cigarettes if they want to, and that's not my idea of a conservative country if you know what I mean. In American they have to at least look 27 years old to purchase cigarettes, a 4 year old can buy them here. And don't kid yourself, I see women in veils all over the city in cofee shops smoking sheesha, no one even blinks an eye at them, it seems to be chic. I don't know if they smoke hash but it wouldn't shock me,knowing what I do know. By the way this so-called conservative muslim country also sells alcoholic beverages, and I know many muslims who drink except during Ramadam, talk about contradictions.
