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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Im sure you can get weed in England. Hell you can get weed damn near every country.

[–] [email protected] 69 points 10 months ago

Taking bags without your consent is kind of airport security's deal. They're explicitly allowed to do that.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 10 months ago (3 children)

well, what else do you expect if you take weed through an airport.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago

B-B-But it was "my security guy's weed!!! We told them!".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I take weed through airports all the time. I'm pretty surprised Amsterdam of all places gives a shit.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Contrary to popular belief, weed is not legal in the Netherlands.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It’s really not as big deal. Nobody is going after it these days.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

This story speaks very much to the contrary.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

This story is an anecdote. As the person below says, it was the quantity that was at issue here.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 29 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Fucking moron.

I absolutely love that she’s a “12-time Grammy nominee”. If she had ever won, they would’ve said that instead.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

True, I’m just being an ass because I don’t like her.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

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!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

She's bragging about losing 12 times.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

She called herself 12 times Grammy nominee?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Indeed. Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

You mean "12-time Grammy losses"?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

Oh, no! Anyway

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wait we can just tell cops we don't consent to them taking our contraband???

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Sure you can, but don't expect them take you serious.
