Cue the “Violation of muh rights”
Who brings drugs to an all you can do drug party? It like bring a porno to a porno shoot.
My old housemate was heading to Amsterdam for the weekend with some friends and the one friend stayed over at our flat the night before so they could leave early and I shit you not she was asking what drugs to take with them. Through the damn airports.
We had to tell her to not try anything because she will most likely get caught and she’ll most likely be able to get what she wants over there.
These people exist.
People are fucking dumb, what else can you say?
Like that dumb basketball lady who brought weed into Russia, what the fuck did you think was going to happen lol
Brittney Griner, yeah it was dumb but that was more political. She probably been though there many times. They just chose to enforce it that time.
On the one hand, it’s still super fucking stupid. We had to give up an arms dealer or something for that. On the other hand, I could totally picture Russia just arresting someone because they decided that they were wearing the wingy colored socks
I don’t think she brought weed into Russia, think it was several vials of CBD oil.
Going into Russia at all is a stupid thing to do, going into Russia with literally any contraband at all is an insane thing to do.
I wouldn’t attempt to go into Russia with a plastic knife just in case.
would you throw away your once in a lifetime chance at the Olympics that you’ve been training for your whole life, just because it was in Russia this one time?
always easier to judge from the sidelines.
would you throw away your once in a lifetime chance at the Olympics that you’ve been training for your whole life, just because you wanted to bring contraband.
I was responding to a comment about going to Russia in the first place, I think you’re referring to something different.
It was THC hash oil, but CBD is also illegal in Russia so that wouldn’t really make a difference.
I think it was when she boarding her flight from the Netherlands to UK.
Im sure you can get weed in England. Hell you can get weed damn near every country.
In England you can find weed by smell. Technically it’s against the law to own it but the police never do anything about it because they don’t care.
I know it is easy to find there. Most of the world puts it on the same level as alcohol, which is more dangerous. I just dont umderstand the need to risk it. Hell if you cant go a few days without then you may have issues and need to seek help.
Alcohol addiction is definitely dangerous.
Marijuana addiction tends to just be from people who lack any sort of personality and so taking drugs becomes the entirety of their personality. I’m sure you can get addicted to marijuana, but I think most people who claim to have an addiction are really just idiots with nothing better to do.
Like my roommate at university.
Yeah, you cant get addicted to weed. These are the same people that smuggle drugs into Amsterdam
I think its more useful to say you can get addicted using marijuana. As its not the substance that is addictive, like nicotine or opiods, but the behavior is the addiction
Taking bags without your consent is kind of airport security’s deal. They’re explicitly allowed to do that.
well, what else do you expect if you take weed through an airport.
B-B-But it was “my security guy’s weed!!! We told them!”.
I take weed through airports all the time. I’m pretty surprised Amsterdam of all places gives a shit.
Contrary to popular belief, weed is not legal in the Netherlands.
Correct, it is just tolerated heavily
I think it’s like Las Vegas and open container laws. It’s a city ordinance that weed is allowed not a national one. And an airport is a national asset even if it is in Amsterdam.
No, it’s not allowed through a city ordinance. It’s still entirely illegal in all of the Netherlands.
They just have a stance that they don’t take action in most cases that are inside specific guidelines, which includes the open sale of weed in certain shops.
If they wanted to arrest you for something that under gedogen is usually permitted, they still could.
City ordinances exist here and in the Netherlands too, the difference is that a city ordinance makes something explicitly legal while in the area it covers, while in gedogen, the thing stays entirely illegal, the cops just will overlook most all cases unless it’s something like Minaj did where she’s hauling around a quantity larger than you would for personal use and trying to bring it across borders.
If I go from Belgium to the Netherlands, I can smoke it up at a dutch coffeeshop all day long and even carry around a small quantity, it’s illegal, but cops won’t do anything about it.
The moment I go from the Netherlands back to Belgium, I could get in trouble if I still have that weed with me.
And that’s within the EU, with open borders and free movement of EU citizens.
The UK however no longer is part of the EU, so they are even more strict about taking drugs across borders with them.
It’s not a city ordinance at all but it is however quite complicated and lots of “grey areas”, the stuff is basically illegal up until the point it magically appears in the coffeeshop, and then it’s illegal over 5g. In any case traveling with it internationally is a big no-no even if it’s between two destinations where it’s legal. This is all very silly of course, hopefully with Germany going legal we’re finally gonna start seeing some progress on the topic, if daddy Germany is ok with it the rest will likely follow.
It’s really not as big deal. Nobody is going after it these days.
This story speaks very much to the contrary.
The issue isn’t the weed, it’s the quantity.
They won’t do anything for 5 grams which is obvious for personal use.
She was purportedly caught with 30+ grams in her luggage.
And weed is not legal in the Netherlands. It’s under “gedogen” which means the sale and use at point of sale which are very specific types of shops and growing a quantity for personal use" and carrying on you a quantity for personal use (5 grams) are officially overlooked, while still illegal.
Carrying around quantities that are more than would be for personal use while not being a permitted point of sale is still something you can get arrested for.
This story is an anecdote. As the person below says, it was the quantity that was at issue here.
Yeah thats usually how costums work if you have illegal shit with you (like 40 joints and shit) be glad it happend on the netherlands and not in england , they are wat stricter on weed them the dutch. Dumb plastic noise machine.
Or Singapore.

Does the US not have any British war criminals they could trade for her? Russia got their Merchant of Death back for only a WNBA player that knowingly took drugs to Russia. Osama would still be alive if they had just kidnapped Tom Cruise.
The US will table 36 bills in the next few days in a rush to protect her (she’s Trinidadian), whilst ignoring genocide, homelessness, opioid crisis…!
OMG, did Taylor just twitch!!

About as much class as you would expect from Minaj
From the article:
Minaj took to X to update her followers on the dramatic events. “Now they said they found weed & that another group of ppl have to come here to weigh the pre-rolls. Keep in mind they took my bags without consent. My security has already advised them those pre-rolls belong to him. Oh yea & the pilot wants me to take my ig post down,”
Must be nice to have a personal patsy
Fucking moron.
I absolutely love that she’s a “12-time Grammy nominee”. If she had ever won, they would’ve said that instead.
It’s pretty cool for an artist to be nominated for a grammy. I don’t know anything about this artist other than recognizing her name, but it’s legit to list those nominations in your credentials. It’s a real accomplishment.
True, I’m just being an ass because I don’t like her.
In that case, the grammies are just a private back-patting club, nominations and winners are meaningless anyway and Minaj is a talentless lip syncing influencer. All of which is maybe a little bit true!
You mean “12-time Grammy losses”?
I don’t think I understand what you’re getting at; it makes sense that they would’ve called her a Grammy winner if she’d won a Grammy.
She’s bragging about losing 12 times.
Indeed. Thanks!
She called herself 12 times Grammy nominee?
Yeah police do that. Policing by consent is all very well, but it doesn’t really work if it’s at the criminals consent.
Oh, no! Anyway
Wait we can just tell cops we don’t consent to them taking our contraband???
Sure you can, but don’t expect them take you serious.
LOL
