A Kuwaiti home grow earns a life sentence

Police found 45 plants and four kilograms of prepared cannabis, along with 37 kilograms of gold bars and precious metals that investigators treated as proceeds. The sentence was passed under the 1983 drug law, five months before its replacement took effect.[1]
