 As a reminder, don’t attempt to take cannabis out of the country.
A cruise ship passenger attempted to disembark the “Norwegian Joy” in Bermuda, when Customs & Border Protection detection dogs alerted on the passenger. Officials then found he was carrying two pre-rolled cannabis joints in a cigarette pack, along with cocaine found in his wallet. The officials subsequently searched his cabin and found a bit more of each substance, totaling 3.4 grams of cannabis, and 0.42 grams of cocaine. Under Bermuda laws, possessing cannabis can result in “immediate incarceration and fines of up to several thousand dollars.” The passenger tearfully apologized and said the cannabis was for medical use and was the only thing that eased his condition. Ultimately the passenger avoided jail time, but was fined about $2,500 in court. Per the High Seas Cruising website, “all cruise lines prohibit passengers from bringing cannabis products, including both recreational and medical, on their vessels,” and, “even if the cruise ship departs from a state where [cannabis] is legal, passengers cannot bring the drug on board the vessel.” Comments are closed.
