It is important to remember that activities which are not illegal or that you might get away in your home country will be treated far more severley in this region.
According to British Foreign and Commonwealth Office : 'The penalties for drug trafficking, smuggling and possession, of even residual amounts of drugs are severe. The possesion and import of even the smallest amount of drugs can result in a prison sentance and, in some cases, the death penalty. There is no distinction in Omani law between 'soft' and 'hard drugs; both are treated with equal severity.''
Therefore it is best to stay away from marijuana whilst in Oman.
