The Pocono Record from Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania • Page 19

Drug laws abroad: If you're touring a foreign country this summer, get set for some hard news. No matter which way yoti go, you'll run smack into drug laws that are a whole lot tougher than ours. You may have heard differently. You may have heard possession and sale of drugs overseas or south of our own border is okay. Or at least tolerated.

That's a lie. Drugs are'illegal. The same as here. And that's the truth. Only one thing is different.

The penalties are stiffer. In Lebanon, for instance, possession gets you 3 to 5 years in a mental hospital. That's the law. And there's no way around their law. Drug arrests of Americans overseas have jumped since last year.

And nobody can help. Not friends. Or family. Or the smartest lawyer in town. Not the United States government.

That's why there are over 700 American citizens doing time on drug charges in foreign jails. Those are the facts. And so are these: the drug laws and penalties of 15 foreign countries. Which one will you be visiting? Possession. 2 to 9 years plus fine.

Trafficking. 3 10 10 year? plus fine. Illegal import or export of drugs, 6 to 15 years plus fine. Persons arrested on drug charges can expect a minimum of 6 to 12 months pre-trial confinement. U.S.
