British tourist has been jailed for four years in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for possession of 0.07 grams (a little over two-thousandths of an ounce) of marijuana, a report said Friday.
The 25-year-old man, identified only as W.H., was caught at Dubai airport with the tiny amount of marijuana in his pocket, in addition to "two hardly noticeable slivers of hashish," the Gulf News daily said.
