    Post A British football coach is sentenced to 25 years jail in Dubai over CBD vape liquid.

    A British football coach is sentenced to 25 years jail in Dubai over CBD vape liquid. - Billy Hood’s family and campaign group Detained in Dubai working to appeal against convictions

    index.jpgA British football coach has been sentenced to 25 years in jail in Dubai after police discovered four bottles of vape liquid containing CBD in the boot of his car. Billy Hood, 24, from Kensington, was sentenced for trafficking, selling and possessing drugs after he claims he was forced by police to confess in Arabic, a language he does not speak.

    The Foreign and Commonwealth Office said it was “giving consular support to a British man who has been imprisoned in the UAE”. The vape oils found in Hood’s car on 31 January contained CBD, which is legal in the UK and many other countries, but illegal in the UAE as it contains trace elements of THC, the psychoactive component of cannabis. The oils had been bought in the UK, which resulted in a trafficking charge.

    It always amazes me when Westerners go into oppressive nations and think that the local laws don't apply to them.

    Michael Peter Fay survived and is a Casino Manager today. His net worth is between 1 to 5 million. Sounds like he survived his 4 strokes and it did him no harm.

    True, but oppressive laws against a benign substance are stupid. Are travelers supposed to research every law before visiting a foreign country? Who would think a harmless substance is illegal?
