Various judicial rulings have been issued across multiple jurisdictions regarding drug trafficking and smuggling offenses.

In Maharashtra, India, a special court sentenced two individuals to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment each following the seizure of 1,127 kg of Ganja. In Bali, Indonesia, two Thai nationals received seven-year prison sentences for conspiring to possess 308.25 grams of hashish.

Further legal actions include a 50-year prison sentence in the Maldives for an individual caught with diamorphine and cannabis at Velana International Airport. 

In Canada, recent sentencing includes Alaaddin Koc, a 56-year-old man from Windsor, Ontario, who received one year in prison and a lifetime firearms ban. Koc pleaded guilty to possessing cannabis for the purpose of exportation after the Canada Border Services Agency intercepted approximately 31 kilograms of cannabis in his suitcase at Vancouver International Airport while he was traveling to London. RCMP Staff Sgt. Rhonda Hislop noted that despite the legality of cannabis in Canada, the outbound flow of illicit drugs remains a priority for border integrity programs and international partners.
