Grooverider jailed for 4 years
Not sure if this means much to ayone outside the UK, but here goes:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/mu...00/7252803.stm

The host of Radio 1's Drum & Bass show, Grooverider (perhaps best known as half of Fabio and Grooverider) has been jailed for 4 years in Dubai after admitting posession of 2.16 grammes of cannabis.

Re: Gooverider jailed for 4 years
holy crap. I know punishment for drug-related offenses are high in a lot of other countries (esp compared over here in holland of course) but 4 years prison for cannabis posession?!
Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Re: Gooverider jailed for 4 years
at least the prison he will be in will probably be the ONLY 7 star prison in the world!

A lot of governments don't understand drugs, it's best not to travel with them.

Re: Gooverider jailed for 4 years
shiiiiiiiiiiitttttt

that sucks. I mean, I'll admit - I haven't listened to his stuff in years. but still...

on the other hand
he really should've not flown with pot, I mean - isn't it at least "a little illegal" pretty much everywhere (save for a few places here and there)

and seriously... come on - the UAE is a Muslim country

but - how much is 2.16 grammes? I'm horrible with weight stuff... is that like an eighth? or just enough for a joint?

Re: Gooverider jailed for 4 years
my dad told of an article in the daily mail where one lad was sentanced in Saudi for 4 years for having a spec of weed on his shoe, which was so small it was invisible to the naked eye. it got worse, another got 4 years for a few poppy seeds in the fluff of his pocket; the fact that they came from the topping of a bread roll carried no weight in court.

how true both stories are i wouldn't like to say, i mean its not as if associated newspapers have a history of being economicable with the facts when they get in the way of a good story, now do they!?!
