For those who nitpicked my last post, I did say the RULES were the same in kiwiland and the US, not the punishment. Both New Zealand and the US have confiscated drugs which have been declared because of lack of paperwork. To be fair, you will NOT be thrown in jail at Dubai if you declare these drugs - they will just take them off you, and do so regularly. Jail happens or may happen if you dont declare. Many passengers dont read the rules and think it OK to wander into country B with drugs from country A just because they were prescribed in A. Caveat emptor
