Pamela Oโ€™Rourke says cannabis products for chronic pain condition, though not prescribed

though not prescribed

Hard to believe that anyone travels the world without even doing a little research on laws.. Even prescribed Dubai probably would have had issues with it.

It was only legalized semi recently in Canada, it is even still a problem if you try and take it to the US as there are challenges there.

Edit: to be clear I feel sorry for them but also really not surprised or outraged.. This is the expected outcome of brining a very controlled item into a country that has strict laws.

Good thing he didn't go full stupid and bring it to a country with a death penalty for possession.

I keep flying to Iceland with weed in hopes they'll put me in prison there but it goes undetected even when hidden in plain sight

Passing through other countries where it's illegal is surprised that he can't have Cannabis on his person?

Are you stupid? Clearly it's a yes.

I'm sure the government will bail him out of this eventually, but damn... why are people such idiots?

Experienced traveler here and I fly with weed depending on the country. If you are going to the EU and you were actually caught I bet it's a slap on the wrist at best

I think willingly travelling to Dubai is dumb, weed or not lol

So... are there any crimes that would get you less than life in prison in Dubai?

Maybe scratching your eyebrow, or perhaps wearing sunglasses? /s
