the glaring elephant int he room is that nobody smuggles drugs INTO the country. They are all trying to smuggle it OUT because its so cheap there. If she was so experienced with it as the trolls think then she would know that - if not then she wouldn't have had it. Basically this means she didnt do it.

Re: alcohol or marijuana, effects different people in different ways, and if one is predisposed to the effects of it moreso, will react or act very differently to say, the next person.
The only trouble is, the younger a person is when using pot, or alcohol, the more it is likely to effect their maturing process.
Marijuana does have beneficial medicinal properties, if used correctly and for the right reasons, but as with anything, nothing exceeds like excess, and then....one becomes unbalanced in many ways.
Those that I know that smoke pot, have done so for years and can't shake the habit, same as it those that have been drinking for years.....name your poison, and there is your addiction, mine happens to be chocolate...ah yes, death by chocolate  Grin

Cannabis users are NOT 'junkies', John.

Fur fox sake, they're not even 'drug addicts'.

Smoking a joint is less harmful than drinking, and you do
not become violent or suffer from hang-overs.



Except for people who it damages psychologically with schizophrenia etc.


my ex girlfriends family all used to smoke
drink
regularly, they were always broke, and everytime they ran out of pot
beer
, they would all get abusive because they hadn't had their fix  ... husband and wife would fight (physically) in front of toddlers .... Kat wants to pretend that it's harmless ... this went on for years

they used to piss me off because when they did have their pot
alcohol
they would smoke
drink
it in a closed room with the toddlers present ...




Excuse me for changing your post, slightly.

go for it, and I agree ... with one MAJOR exception...
alcohol is legal




Yes, but your story wasn't about the law: it was about the effects of drug use.

Alcohol is a drug, and it has the same effects (worse, in fact).


my story was to highlight the myth that marijuana has no ill effects ... the legality of it didn't come into it, and i agree wholehartedly that alcohol is just as bad if not worse ... but we aren't talking about alcohol, we're talking about importing drugs

I've seen the same thing when people run out of cigarettes. They'd be like that no matter what their addiction, be it food, alcohol, tobacco, porn, heroin or pot.


so you agree that marijuana is not an innocent drug and can have bad side effects?

Nobody was perpetuating that myth in this thread.

Unless I missed a post.    Undecided

Getting back to Schapelle.....

the baggage handlers stuffed up, they should have removed the drugs in Sydney apparently. Schapelle flew from Brisbane to Sydney, and then on to Bali.
She was an innocent drug mule.

At that same time, why my friend's son had his boogie board go missing and it was located in Darwin after they made lodged their enquiry to locate it. Strange but oh so coincidental  Wink

UN figures claimed that high-grade marijuana was selling in Australia (around the time Schapelle flew), for $US31 a gram - while the highest price in Indonesia was US30 cents a gram.
Hmmmm....why would one take a loss taking it to Indonesia?

incorrect, there is a huge demand for top quality hydropnic marijuana in Bali, it has been shown that the street price is higher than Australia. The locallly grown stuff is a very inferior quality.

Ive never picked up a boogie board that weighed more than 1.5 kg.

For schapelle to pick up a boogie board with 5 kg of drugs stashed in it and carry it over to the customs officer , and then claim she didnt know it was there, is laughable.

I'd give her a 2 month sentence for the weed and 20 years for being a lying b^tch.



If you were packing a boogie board in side a boogie board bag, would you not pack a few extra things in there as well (shoes, toiletries, etc).  Seems logical to me. Meaning it would weigh more than 1.5 kg.

By Australian standards, she's served more time than the crime warranted.  She'll make a killing on the book and movie deals.

So confusing and conflicting, here is a link for now, maybe some more to follow for this contraversy at that particular time.

toothpaste - check
make-up bag - check
towel and bathers - check
5kg bag of pot - check.... oops, no room in the suitcase so throws it in the boogy board cover. Hoping it makes it thru to Denpasar via Sydney. That's a huge bag. Such little attempt to conceal it. I'm going with the baggage handlers trafficking it interstate from Bris to Syd and they lost track of it. Huh

Im not interested in "blog spots" the circumstance of Corby;s arrest has been exhaustively investigated and the baggage handling claim was found to be completely  erroneous and fabricated by her first lawyer.
