Drug law reality
A follow-on to my posting last week about the severity of Dubai’s drug laws, which visitors often seem not to take seriously.
A Canadian brought in a tiny amount of marijuana, 0.66 grams for personal use.
He fired his layer, pleaded guilty and asked the court for a ‘fast verdict’, saying he would pay a fine and leave.
He has been sentenced to four years in jail followed by deportation.
Are you sure this was a Canadian and not an Australian. I have a personal involvement and am trying to find information on this case. Thanks
