Brit Jailed In Dubai For 4 Years For Speck Of Marijuana On Shoe
Category: News | Posted on Fri, February, 10th 2012 by THCFinder
WTF is wrong with these government idiots? How can you justify sending someone to jail for 4 years over a microscopic piece of weed they found on the bottom of this guys shoe? What if he happened to walk across someones spilt weed, how can any goverment send someone away for 4 years based on something so insignificant?
A father-of-three who was found with a microscopic speck of cannabis stuck to the bottom of one of his shoes has been sentenced to four years in a Dubai prison.
Keith Brown, a council youth development officer, was travelling through the United Arab Emirates on his way back to England when he was stopped as he walked through Dubai’s main airport.
A search by customs officials uncovered a speck of cannabis weighing just 0.003g – so small it would be invisible to the naked eye and weighing less than a grain of sugar – on the tread of one of his shoes.
Dubai International Airport is a major hub for the Middle East and thousands of Britons pass through it every year to holiday in the glamorous beach and shopping haven.
But many of those tourists and business travellers are likely to be unaware of the strict zero-tolerance drugs policy in the UAE.
One man has even been jailed for possession of three poppy seeds left over from a bread roll he ate at Heathrow Airport. Painkiller codeine is also banned.
If suspicious of a traveller, customs officials can use high-tech equipment to uncover even the slightest trace of drugs.
Mr Brown was detained and arrested in September last year and has been held in a cell with three other men in the city prison ever since.
This week the youth worker, who has two young children and a partner at home in Smethwick, West Midlands, was sentenced to four years in prison.

Will California Finally Legalize Marijuana? Study Shows 62% of California Voters Polled Favor Legalization
Category: Legalization | Posted on Fri, February, 10th 2012 by THCFinder
Is it finally time for California to legalize marijuana? We hope so but it was only about a year ago that legalization was defeated!
LOS ANGELES--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--In November, 2010, a ballot initiative to legalize marijuana was narrowly defeated (53-46) in California. Convinced the time has come to legalize cannabis, activists are collecting signatures to place the Regulate Marijuana Like Wine Act of 2012 (RMLW) on the November, 2012 ballot.
“LEAP believes the citizens of California are far ahead of the federal government in assessing a policy that will reduce death, disease, crime, and corruption, when they register 62% support for the initiative Regulate Marijuana Like Wine.”
“Wine is something that people understand can be used in moderation,” said retired LAPD Deputy Chief Stephen Downing, who coauthored the voter initiative. “In fact, a recent study found that 64 percent of people polled stated marijuana poses no greater risk to society than drinking alcohol.”
In the report, conducted by Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates (FM3), 62 percent of California voters polled believe marijuana should be legalized, 67 percent believe responsible adults over the age of 21 should have the right to use marijuana, and 80 percent believe new drug policies are needed.
The report further indicates most Californians believe law enforcement spends too much time enforcing marijuana laws, which prevents them from concentrating on more serious crimes like murder, rape and robbery.
According to the FM3 survey:
71 percent of respondents agree state and local law enforcement agencies spend too much time, money and resources enforcing marijuana.
63 percent believe a main reason for severe prison overcrowding is the prosecution and incarceration of non-violent drug offenders.
64 percent say marijuana should be taxed to fund public schools, police and fire services, and other vital services.
According to a summary prepared by the Attorney General, some of the initiative’s regulations include:
Decriminalizing marijuana sales, distribution, possession, use, cultivation and transportation.
Retaining laws forbidding use while driving or in the workplace.
Establishing regulation of commercial marijuana trade to match regulation of wine and beer.
Directing state and local officials to not cooperate with federal enforcement of marijuana laws.
Banning development of genetically modified marijuana.
California’s Legislative Analyst’s summary of the initiative’s fiscal impact
If the initiative passes, the potential fiscal impact on state and local government could:
Save tens of millions of dollars annually because state and local governments will no longer incarcerate and supervise certain marijuana offenders.
Net hundreds of millions of dollars in additional tax revenues related to the production and sale of marijuana products.
Jack Cole, co-founder of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, a 50,000 member organization of police, prosecutors, judges, and supporters, said, “LEAP believes the citizens of California are far ahead of the federal government in assessing a policy that will reduce death, disease, crime, and corruption, when they register 62% support for the initiative Regulate Marijuana Like Wine.”
