According to a report by China Customs on Aug. 12, customs officers at West Kowloon Station recently intercepted an inbound passenger found to be concealing two packets of cannabis, with a gross weight of 6.1 grams, inside a tissue paper wrapper.
While monitoring inbound travellers, customs officers noticed a male passenger who failed to make a voluntary declaration upon entering the customs control area. The passenger appeared visibly nervous and was walking hurriedly, seemingly eager to pass through the inspection channel quickly. Officers immediately stopped him for a check. Upon further inspection, they found two packets of suspected cannabis concealed inside a tissue paper wrapper in the passenger's trouser pocket, with a gross weight of 6.1 grams. The items emitted a strong, pungent odour and tested positive for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) using on-site reagent tests. Subsequent testing by a professional institution confirmed the presence of THC in the items. The case has been handed over to the customs anti-smuggling department for further handling.
Customs reminds the public that under the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China and the Anti-Drug Law of the People's Republic of China, drugs include opium, heroin, methamphetamine (ice), morphine, cannabis, cocaine, and other narcotic and psychotropic substances controlled by the state that can cause addiction. Regardless of the quantity, smuggling, trafficking, transporting, or manufacturing drugs shall be subject to criminal liability and penalised accordingly.
