Just make sure you don't step on any dodgy looking cigaretes before getting on a plane to this place!

"A father-of-three who was found with a microscopic speck of cannabis stuck to the bottom of one of his shoes has been sentenced to four years in a Dubai prison.

Keith Brown, a council youth development officer, was travelling through the United Arab Emirates on his way back to England when he was stopped as he walked through Dubai's main airport.

A search by customs officials uncovered a speck of cannabis weighing just 0.003g - so small it would be invisible to the naked eye and weighing less than a grain of sugar - on the tread of one of his shoes."

Backwards? Or lock em up for not being more careful on what they step on!

That is incredible!

According to the article, I'd get four years in jail for transporting mersyndol (codeine) tablets in my rucksack.

Then don't bring any dollar bills there since most them are coated with coke or crack.

Them hoes are trippin man

Yeah, so many people get connecting flights through Dubai and are completely oblivious that they are temporarily subject to some really harsh laws and penalties.

I'd be pretty worried if I knew I was getting a flight that passed through there! lol

Backward

How is it backward? You can get really high from cannabis and mersyndol (codeine). Codeine is part of opium related drugs like Heroin. In the USA, you can go to prison for carrying or buying codeine without any prescription, look it up. Yes, every country have flawed cases and UAE is not a exception.

wtf? look at what he's wearing. of course they are going to inspect him for drugs

lol,i feel bad for the rastaman.

He had a speck of cannabis on his shoe. Locking him up in an Arab prison for four years is a little overboard.

It's a crime 'cause he could have hurt the weed plant he stepped on.

People put a lot of time and effort into growing that $hit.

dam, aint that some $hit
