A Word about Drugs

Drugs and Travel

Illegal drug use and trafficking are prohibited in all countries, even though drugs may be readily available and openly used in some cultures.

Being Canadian does not exempt your clients from local laws regarding illegal drugs. If they break the law in another country, they are subject to that country’s judicial system. Most countries impose heavy fines and long prison sentences for simple possession. Even prescription drugs and syringes used for legitimate medical purposes can come under intense scrutiny.
