Man oh man, the 2018 World Cup in Russia is going to be a PARTY. And it was going to be wildly lit before this report that the World Cup venues will be allowing attendees to bring a gargantuan amount of drugs into the stadiums.
Anyway, back to the Mother Land.
According to Newsweek, a bizarre (Russia, amirite?) loophole will allow World Cup goers to bring drugs such as cannabis, cocaine and heroin into the games if they “have the proper medical paperwork.” Not sure what kind of medical paperwork okays the use of f*cking heroin, but this Russia we’re talking about, after all.

The Moscow-based Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), a joint economic trade bloc of countries including Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia, allows for certain banned narcotic and psychotropic drugs to be brought into the country with supporting medical documentation. The Russian-led union of nations gives foreign travelers the right to carry drugs including cannabis and cocaine with the proper prescription papers.
These regulations allowing for travelers to import and register narcotics will be applicable as millions of soccer fans from across the world descend on Russia for 2018 World Cup events between June and July.
Russia’s 2018 World Cup Organizing Committee released a statement Tuesday confirming that narcotics will be allowed in and those law enforcement officers working the various venue checkpoints throughout the country will be assigned with verifying football fans’ drug prescription authenticity.
The stadiums will allow for cocaine, codeine, morphine, amphetamines and cannabis.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup will begin in Russia on June 14, running until July 15.
