      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.

        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

          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.

          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.

                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
