Kevin O'Rourke, a 64-year-old Canadian man, has been sentenced to life in prison for possession of cannabis and CBD products. O'Rourke was stopped and searched in the Dubai International Airport while traveling to South Africa. Authorities detained him after finding 118 grams of cannabis, CBD, and CBD oil. O'Rourke's wife says he suffers from Addison's disease, a condition in which the adrenal glands don't produce enough of some hormones, and the cannabis products are prescribed by his physician for controlling the pain.
