Gigi Hadid Was Arrested In The Cayman Islands For Bringing Weed With Her On A Private Jet

Gigi Hadid was arrested and charged with possessing pot and drug paraphernalia after she flew to the Cayman Islands from the U.S. last week, TMZ has confirmed.

The model touched down in a private jet at Owen Roberts International Airport July 10 and went through customs with her luggage.

Customs & Border Control agents put her bags through a scanner and searched them by hand, finding a small amount of weed and smoking utensils.

Although CBC determined the ganja was for personal use only, Gigi and her traveling companion were arrested on charges of importation of marijuana and importation of utensils to smoke the cannabis.

She was processed at the Royal Cayman Islands Detention Center, where she arranged for bail and was later released pending prosecution of her case.

This is fucking insane. I understand that not every country is cool with weed. In fact, a ton of countries aren't. I don't really know why, or when everyone is going to get with the program, but this fucking sucks. 

The most glaring detail here is the fact Gigi flew in on a PRIVATE PLANE and still got arrested for having a little bit of weed. Isn't the first rule of private planes is that you can bring whatever you want and nobody can do anything about it? Don't people bring like, guns on planes all the time? Drugs? Fast Cars and Fast Women? 

I asked the only person I know who takes private jets regularly for his thoughts:

(He didn't answer in time for this blog because he's has more important things to do than answer a text from me within 10 minutes, but I'm sure he's going to get around to it)

Back to the issue at hand - what do we need to do to convince the world that weed is fine? Sure, people get too high and become couch potatoes. I understand the drug trade itself is sketchy and can sometimes lead to more dangerous drugs being sold. But why are we arresting Gigi Hadid for having a little bowl and some medical marijuana in her purse before going on vacation? Isn't this a massive waste of time and resources, no matter where you go? WHO CAAAREEEESSSS?!?!?!?
