UAE (Dubai) Banned Substance List.

Just in case anyone hasn't heard about the current madness in the UAE (inc Dubai, popular transit hub), people are being jailed for such crimes as possession of 3 poppy seeds from a bread roll! THC in your BLOOD is enough to get you arrested - swabs and blood samples are used.

Prescribed codeine tablets and many other common legally prescribed drugs could land you in a middle eastern jail!

"While many other countries also apply controls to the following drugs, UAE is unusual in conducting extremely thorough searches of many travellers through its airports, with highly sensitive equipment."

Thank you for posting that, Tall Guy. These laws are off the hook! Definitely not a place I want to visit! I'd be arrested for sure with all the THC in my blood.

Peace & Love
