Selling in singapore is not automatic death. The death penalty is for drug traffickers only and the minimum amount for cannabis is 500 grams. Or 1000 grams of cannabis mixture, or 200 grams of resin. Below that and I don't think you get capital punishment. I'm not positive though. It's still batshit insane to murder someone for 500 grams of weed though. I have personally had that in my house numerous times.

According to Abu Dhabi based newspaper The National, the DJ, identified only as 30-year-old A.Y., was charged with consuming drugs after a tip off was given to Dubai Police’s anti-narcotics department.
When police arrested the man in March no drugs were found on him, but traces of the narcotics were found in his blood.
The disc jockey denied the charges, saying that the last time he had smoked the drug was in December while he was in Britain. But prosecutors said that test results showed he consumed the drug whilst in the UAE.
He has two weeks to appeal the sentence, the paper said.
In 2008, British DJ Grooverider was sentenced to four years in prison after being convicted of smuggling cannabis into the country.



The 40-year-old disc jockey, whose real name is Raymond Bingham, was detained at Dubai airport in November 2008 as he arrived to perform a gig, after he was found in possession of 2.16 grammes (0.076 ounces) of marijuana.
He denied smuggling, claiming that he had forgotten the drugs were in his trouser pocket.
However, he was released after serving 10 months in prison after a special pardon from the Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashed al-Maktoum.
The UAE imposes strict penalties for all drug-related offences. Four years is the usual sentence for possession, which presence of drugs in the bloodstream is considered to prove, while trafficking carries the death penalty.
Some prescription and over the counter drugs in Britain are also considered to be controlled substances in the UAE.
According to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), Britons are proportionally more likely to be arrested in the UAE than any other country in the world. Since January 2010, 125 British nationals are believed to have been arrested there.
A spokesman said that between April 2008 and March 2009, a total of 48 Britons were arrested in the UAE for drugs related offences, but they believed such arrests were becoming less frequent.
THE FCO advises that expatriates and tourists are careful to respect local laws and customs while in the UAE.

i remember that story about the groove rider dj when it happened a few years back.. he got off light when he got the pardon for sure, but how fucking crazy is it that possession in the uae can consist of drugs in the blood stream?? that's just effin nuts imo...
i like to follow formula one and try to go to a new race in a different country each year and there is even a race in abu dhabi, but i'll be damned if i'm setting one foot in that fucking country... the thing is, it looks to be a fairly popular place, and even some of the current f1 drivers like jenson button have apts. in the country..

Did anyone catch the last Locked Up Abroad?

The lady was a stripper and was told she was going to train other strippers and do a performance each night at a new club in Gambia. Then all of a sudden the people who brought them there forced them to bring coke back in shampoo bottles. They got caught of course, the girl faired pretty well but her husband who went with her got attacked by prison gaurds and now has serious back issues.

My question is why they didn't go to customs and say they were being forced to carry the drugs. To me it seemed like they didn't want to admit being drug smugglers after they were caught and came up with a somewhat clever story.

that sucked when it happened. He had just released an album a few months earlier and was working on some cool stuff with fabio till he was imprisoned. Apparently it was just crumbs of hash caught in his pocket from smoking at gigs in London.

Still he's back now and putting out some beats again. Shame it held him back from the dnb scene that long though.
