Death penalty for weed.

[Winter Woman]

I knew it was possible to get the death penalty for drugs. I always thought it was more for the citizens of UAE. I'll keep my comments to myself (they aren't very nice).

A British man reportedly convicted of supplying cannabis in the United Arab Emirates is facing the death penalty, the Foreign Office has said.
He has not been named but UAE newspaper the National says he is 21 years old.
It said an Abu Dhabi court heard how he sold an undercover officer 20g of the drug worth 1,500 UAE Dirhams (£262).
The Foreign Office said it was in "contact with the British national and his legal team and continue to provide consular assistance".
"I can confirm that a British national is facing death penalty in the UAE," a spokesman said.
But he said the Foreign Office was unable to confirm details of the case.
The newspaper report said that the Briton had been arrested alongside a 19-year-old Syrian man.
The Briton's mother collapsed outside the court after the sentence was passed, it added.

You can get arrested for possession in Dubai for simply having THC metabolites in your blood or a speck of bud stuck to your shoe. Know what the mandatory minimum is for possession there? Four years, no exceptions. Brutal.

NORML.com scares you when you live in the deep south, where everyones thinking is backwards as shit and weed is still looked down on like cocaine here. damn old people.

That generation is about gone.
Even my brother, a deacon, thinks it is ok.

I have a religious friend that uses genesis as proof that marijuana is here as a gift from god...

Death sentence for weed, but they'd probably make you an honorary citizen and give you keys to the kingdom if you beat the shit out of your wife and then pray to Jerry Sandusky... oops I meant Michael Jackson.... fuck what I meant to say was Mohammed

you've got to be an idiot to go on vacation to the uae if you're a user of cannabis or any other drugs.. i heard that same story about the guy getting busted at the airport for having a tiny amount of bud on his shoe..
also heard of a british couple getting arrested for kissing on a public beach in one of the countries in the uae as well.. maybe it was abu dhabi ....

i once started a thread on the 10 worst countries for cannabis possession.. the list and penalties were staggering to say the least..
