Gigi Hadid has been released after reportedly been arrested for mairjuana possession.

The supermodel's girls' trip got off to the worst possible start, as it's alleged the supermodel was taken into custody after arriving in the Cayman Islands.

According to Gigi's people, she was "traveling with marijuana purchased legally in NYC with a medical license".

The 28-year-old arrived at Owen Roberts International Airport on a private jet and was stopped after custom officials allegedly found "ganja and utensils used for the consumption of ganja" in their luggage.

According to local outlet Cayman Marl Road, Hadid and her pal were then arrested on "suspicion Importation of Ganja and Importation of Utensils used for the consumption of ganja".

After being taken to the Prisoner Detention Center, they were reportedly released on bail.

On July 12, two days aftet they arrived, Hadid and her pal were formally charged during a court appearance.

They pleaded guilty and were both fined $1,000, according to Cayman Marl Road, but avoided convictions on their records.

"Gigi was traveling with marijuana purchased legally in NYC with a medical license," her rep told E! News.

"It has also been legal for medical use in Grand Cayman since 2017. Her record remains clear and she enjoyed the rest of her time on the island."

Gigi clearly hasn't let the incident ruin her holiday, as she has been posting a lot of snaps with pals.

It comes amid rumors that the model is having a romance with Leonardo DiCaprio, but the Hollywood legend wants to "take it slow".

Rumors of a romance between the pair began last year, with an insider sharing why Leo is not going full throttle.

A source told US Weekly: "They're only seeing each other right now.

"It's [still] casual, and they aren't labeling it, [but] they're dating [again].

"Leo wants to take it slower with Gigi because there's potential there, and he wants to preserve it."

It's a major break in Leo's 'rule', as he seems to not want to date anyone over the age of 25.

He most recently dated Camila Morrone, with the couple splitting before her 25th birthday - and also broke up with ex Bar Rafaeli when she turned 25.

Fucking idiots - it's not legal worldwide just because it's legal in the US.

According to the National Drug Council Cayman Islands, “consumption of recreational cannabis is prohibited/illegal in any form”. However, the NDC notes that lawmakers in the Cayman Islands “amended the misuse of drug laws to allow for the medicinal use of cannabis oil”.

It's not legal everywhere in the US. Indiana is between Illinois and Michigan, but if I went to either State for legal marijuana and brought it back to Indiana, I could be arrested for possession.

[greysfang]

Its not legal in the US either, just 23 states. If you have it on an airplane, which is federal, its still illegal. Its been legal in Colorado the longest but you can still be arrested if you have it in a National Park.

[Sarzy]

She's lucky it was somewhere that just gives a $1k fine!

[sputnik]

yes it's dumb that weed is still illegal federally in the US and in some countries but people need to stop being idiots and flying with it. it may be legal medicinally in the US and in the cayman islands but it's illegal to travel with it internationally and it's not like gigi doesn't have the $$$ and connections to score once she lands in the cayman islands. at least it's not russia but she's still a dumbass.

Thank you. I thought that they had legalised it all over not just less than half of the states.

she's lucky they didn't decide to Britney Griner her ass and throw her in prison over it to try to make her an "example".

it is dumb that weed is illegal anywhere but you still have to obey the law when you travel.  anybody regular person would've been toasted over that.

i doubt a regular person would have been treated that much differently though. a lot of caribbean countries have relaxed their laws re: weed and aren't throwing people in jail over simple possession.

[beeyotch]

Well, that's super embarrassing for her. Dummy.

[constancespry]

Dumbass.

Not when you see the psychological studies on what it does to brains. Plus it is just as addictive as any other substance.

i agree cannabis can do damage, which a lot of people like to ignore, but it's still less than the damage alcohol does, and yet that's still legal. and unlike alcohol, marihuana has medicinal properties too.

humans will always use substances, and some people don't know how to handle them, but that's not an argument in favour of banning them and criminalising addiction and putting people in jail or giving them a criminal record for personal use.

It's not like it's hard to get hooked up with it when you get to your destination, especially when you have enough money to stay somewhere with staff that'll have a whole phonebook full of connections for almost anything you want.
