Is weed legal in Paris?

Lil Baby was one of three people arrested on weed-related charges in Paris.

About 20 grams of weed was seized by authorities. The substance is illegal in France.

Harden was not arrested or taken into custody, according to ESPN.

The prosecutor's office said that an investigation has been opened by the city's 8th district police precinct.

Footage from the scene showed Harden and one other male being surrounded by cops and having their pockets searched.

Harden can be heard telling someone "it's ok, I don't understand."

One photo, obtained by TMZ, showed an officer holding what appears to be a vaping device.

It is unclear who it belongs to and what substance is inside.

Lil Baby was seen sitting in the back of a police van and appeared to be handcuffed, according to the outlet.

A local French newspaper said that the rapper was in a group that was stopped by police at 4.50pm after people left a vehicle reportedly smelling of marijuana.

Lil Baby rose to fame in 2017 following the release of his mixtape Perfect Timing.
