That's not cultural difference, that's different laws.
You can be executed if you take weed to Singapore, something that may be perfectly legal where you live.
Educate yourself before you travel.

Where would be the best way to get this information? I onow it will depend kn the destination country, but you can't really rely on Google for that one, and the destination country may not classify/name meds the same way as your home country. (Look at acetaminophen and paracetamol for example. )

If you bring medicines with you, you're responsible for determining their legality before departing.

From the Canadian government official website: https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/health-safety/medication

Polish foreign affairs office keeps a website of travel advisories for all countries in the world, including things like what medication might get you in trouble and how to prepare.

Idk how it works in other countries.
