    Two pounds of weed btw. A man’s life because he wanted to get high with friends at a party or something. It’s illegal to import so it’s not unlikely that he wanted to get a bunch and use it over the course of a year. Fucking insane. Also fuck this articles’s loaded language and framing.

      Also very likely he was going to sell it.

      I’m for legalising weed, but trying to import it to a country that is notorious for executing people for even small amounts is fucking moronic.

        144 people for about a week, per the article.

        That’s like 1500 dollars of weed. Hardly worth attempting to smuggle it unless it’s for personal use for a good long while.
