He also described himself as a “cannabis addict” who consumes about 3.5 to 7 “units of measurement” per day.
Despite his self-proclaimed addiction to cannabis, Birchy acknowledged that Singapore’s tough stance on drugs simply works.
In fact, during his recent visit to Singapore, Birchy shared that he never once considered looking for cannabis, going as far as to call the idea “absurd”.
Birchy also claimed that Singapore’s stance on drugs has spared the country from the damage seen in neighbouring countries, brought about by drugs.
Says Singapore doesn’t have space for a massive drug problem
His video has since gotten a fair share of traction with over 10,000 likes and 600 comments.
Responding to commenters, Birchy clarified that he believes cannabis should be legal globally.

However, he concedes that there’s simply no space for a “massive drug problem” in a small country like Singapore.
Admitting that no country’s perfect, Birchy maintains that Singapore does a “bloody good job” at controlling drugs.
In another video, Birchy elaborated that he does not exactly agree with Singapore’s classification of drugs.
