Customs officers at Shenzhen's West Kowloon Station recently intercepted an inbound traveler who was found concealing marijuana on the soles of his feet, authorities said.
The incident occurred during routine inspection of arriving passengers. An adult male traveler passed through the customs supervision area without making any declaration and crossed paths with an officer on duty. The officer noticed a strong, unusual odor and stopped the individual for further examination.
Upon inspection, customs officers discovered one packet of suspected marijuana plant material attached to the bottom of each of the traveler's feet. The two packets had a combined gross weight of 17.6 grams. Laboratory testing by a qualified institution later confirmed the presence of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the principal psychoactive component of cannabis, in the seized material.
The case has been transferred to the customs anti-smuggling department for further investigation and handling.
Customs authorities reminded 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, marijuana, cocaine, and other narcotic or psychotropic substances that are addictive and controlled by the state. Smuggling, trafficking, transporting, or manufacturing drugs—regardless of quantity—can result in criminal prosecution and criminal penalties.
