Questions & Answers
What is the expected punishment for testing positive on drugs in the UAE?
My friend was caught 2 months ago for an attempt of promoting drugs.
3 days later, I was taken for questioning and they did a test which was positive (crystal meth) and I was released on the 3rd day.
A few days ago, I received a message saying I should attend a court hearing this 30th.
My question is, will there be any deportation? Or will I have to pay a fine?
I was caught for consumption only, not promoting neither possession.
In case you are using drugs only and you had a positive test result, that goes under the penal code of the UAE under the misdemeanor crimes.
And the punishment shall be one year jail and deportation, fine 10k to 20k and deportation, or deportation only as per the judge's decision.
