After Gigi Hadid and a friend were arrested on suspicion of trying to bring marijuana into the Cayman Islands, they celebrated their release by posting thirst traps from a hotel pool and beach. The same charge can carry a three-year prison sentence with hard labor and, for some, seven years and a $20,000 fine, according to Cayman Islands law. And for the typical Caymanian, having such a drug charge on your record can make education, employment and travel difficult.

Only three people were arrested on suspicion of importing weed, the charge Hadid and her friend faced.
