State of Kuwait · Penal Law · Ministry of Justice — Court of Cassation — Technical Office

English translation of the principle

The judgment’s finding of the seizure of fragments of the Indian hemp plant containing the basic compounds of the hashish plant, based on what was stated in the analysis report. The complaint that what was seized is not listed in the narcotics schedule. A manifestly invalid legal defence. The judgment’s disregard thereof does not vitiate it.
Arabic original
إثبات الحكم ضبط فتات لنبات القنب الهندي المحتوي على المركبات الأساسية لنبات الحشيش استناداً لما ورد بتقرير التحليل. النعي بأن ما ضبط ليس مدرجاً بجدول المخدرات. دفاع قانوني ظاهر البطلان. التفات الحكم عنه لا يعيبه.
