I don't think the article suggests he tried to smuggle it at all.......
'At first customs officers found nothing, but then a roll-up cigarette was spotted caught in the tread of his shoe.
The 43-year-old, from Middlesex, was charged with possession of 0.003g of cannabis and was sentenced to four years in prison'.
Strange way to smuggle what amounts to a very small spliff; stuck to the bottom of your shoe. Sounds more like he trod on a butt an accidentally carried it.
As to Dubai, I have no desire ever to set foot in the wretched country. All the skyscrapers and modern buildings are just a facade on what is essentially a medieval society.
