International 🇰🇼 Kuwait

Kuwait ties its drug policing to a Gulf intelligence centre

Kuwait approved the statute of the Gulf Cooperation Council's Criminal Information Center for Drug Control, a regional body for sharing drug-enforcement intelligence. The law was one of the international instruments Kuwait cited when it replaced its drug laws in 2025. It did not change any domestic cannabis offence or penalty.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Kuwait here.
