Briton jailed for four years (cannabis weighing less than a grain of sugar)

I saw this a few minutes ago on another forum. Wow, that's shocking. I think the poppy seed one is even more ridiculous though.

Although you have to admit, the picture on the website is pretty funny:D .
 
Iam truly and utterly disgusted at this. I cant even describe in words how i would feel if i was prosecuted for a piece of cannabis that wasnt even visible to the eye. Dear god.

Id like to know how you look suspicious carrying something you arent aware that you are even carrying! More like hey, lets find something on this guy. Cause no doubt you could find something like this on pretty much every person, and no doubt someone who has touched drugs but has no intention of smuggling.

Im really glad i read this though, cause i definitely would fit the suspicious profile... im fucking outraged by this!
 
Just another reason the bomb the entire Middle East until it no longer exists.

I just can not understand why these countrie insist on pretending that it is 2,000 years ago. Well, except for when they want to use technology to find a spec of weed smaller than a grain os sugar. Then all of a sudden it is 2008 again. I hope Allah smites them all. Smites them good.

Well that's completely unnecessary and really just shows how ignorant you are.

DMT, morphine, and GHB are illegal in the US, which are also produced by and used by the human body (maybe not the DMT, that one isnt definitive yet)

I thought it was proven that DMT was produced in the brain, Dr. Rick Strassman certainly seemed to think so in his book 'DMT the Spirt Molecule'. Has this since been refuted?
 
This has got to be the one of the most fucked up news articles ive seen on here. UAE must be the country with the most backwards drug laws i think.
 
Someone who did this to me - took away a portion of my life, over nothing - I would consider the moral equal of a murderer.

Maybe they'll start locking up everyone who possesses money with traces of coke on it next.

With this in mind, ALL US visitors to Dubai should definitely not have any American cash on them...
 
its all so sad that dubai is also one one of the if not the richest "civilised/westernised" country/state in the middle east... mind you some countries you can get the death penalty (not for a speck or a seed tho.... granted...)....

outraged !!! :p

i hope these facts are made known and they pay the price by losing their tourist industry... (at least put up a little notice at the airport "you are liable to be imprisoned for four years for Fuckall!!!"

fuck dubai i never want to go there
 
dubai is what it is, a place in the desert. with a bunch of artificle shit everywhere. nothing really that more interesting about it.

I knew somebody would say that, but honestly, besides oil, oh nevermind, this isn't the place for that discussion.

P.S. I love how people can tell how ignorant somebody else is by reading a single sentence.
 
If I had the money, I'd personally hire a team of commandos to go bust those poor people out of prison. Then call in an air strike.
 
These countries are serious. You'd have to be insane to go there. They don't want you there, and they will kidnap and extort you. And the guy's statement that he'll "just have to get what is coming to him" sounds forced. Would you really say that, I would be saying this is bullshit, let me out of here. Don't attempt to visit or do business with them!

It's like in the movie Syriana when he says "But what do you need a financial advisor for? Twenty years ago you had the highest Gross National Product in the world, now you're tied with Albania. Your second largest export is secondhand goods, closely followed by dates which you're losing five cents a pound on... You know what the business community thinks of you? They think that a hundred years ago you were living in tents out here in the desert chopping each other's heads off and that's where you'll be in another hundred years"

You may find, on a message board, that when you make ignorant statements you become labelled as being ignorant. Sorry if this come as something of a surprise to you.

In all seriousness though, FUCK the UAE. I used to want to go there, and now I never will. I would have probably spent some good money there too, I'm the type that brings back souvenirs and shit for all my friends and expensive shit to give to my girlfriends. I like to save up for a while so I can stay in a nice place and spend money doing what I want etc. I'm hoping that many more like me will also be turned off from visiting this country, a discreet threshold will be reached, and they will realize that they are badly losing income from the tourist industry. That would be nice.
 
I seriously wanted to go there until I read this topic.
Was conscious about dope being super illegal but I was planning on bringing heaps of painkillers.....

thank you so much topic starter 8o 8o 8o 8o
