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

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.

It was THC hash oil, but CBD is also illegal in Russia so that wouldn’t really make a difference.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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…!

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,”
