What’s so tough about understanding the law?

This is majorly stupid…makes Britney Griner's infraction in Russia look simple. When you work in a country where the penalty for smuggling drugs is execution what do you do? Have drugs mailed to you….

a) the law doesn't apply to me because I am wealthy and famous

b) too high on dope to care/understand about consequences

It is most likely B considering he's 34 and playing basketball in Indonesia.

Hard to know what the deal is. I know in Griners case the Russian government routinely looked the other way on marijuana when it came to foreign athletes until Putin decided he wanted a political prisoner. Could be a similar situation here in that they didn't enforce this against foriegn players and there was a sudden change in policy. I bet this is going to make it a hell of a lot harder to find players to play in their league.

I assume he asked if it was legal on a message board somewhere.

He forgot to include the bit about how he was asking for a friend.

Laws are to control the common man. Wealthy people don't have to follow them.

Costa Rica is hardcore too.

Costa Rica is hardcore too.

I was just curious and according to the Google, this does not seem to be the case...at all (unless the joke flew right over my head which is entirely possible)

Agree on both but I hate when people call cannabis products dope. Getting drunk as hell makes people do way dumber s*** than smoking weed and eating edibles.

I love me some gummies but if getting potentially on death row, I dont need them that bad.
