[QUOTE=Bytecry;33691289]Radio 1 is fucking great though. I tune in from time to time.[/QUOTE]

I love radio 1.
I don't get it over in canada, but i pick up feeds on my computer and download sets to listen to in my car.

Love the essential mix program. Just absolute brilliance.

I just wish there were local stations that was as good as radio 1 in toronto, but no, every station you tune to, its top 40 this, top 40 that. bloody hell.

While getting arrested over marijuana is stupid, I don't think ignorance of a countries law is a reasonable defense

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;33690677]And yet a 50 year old woman who sexually assaults little boys gets one year.

Disgusting.[/QUOTE]
This took place in United Arab Emirates.

50 year old lady took place in America.

There's a major difference in terms of "Justice" and laws.

If you can't comprehend that slang than you are stupider than you try to make yourself out to be.

I know what it means, I just think it's stupid.

If you're giving someone 4 years for possession of cannabis, there's something wrong with your country.
I don't even see why possession of small amounts are worthy of a short sentence, never mind 4 years.

Either way though, anyone should know that entering a country with it isn't the best idea.

[Bobie]

shit, i thought this article was recent, no wonder he's been playing recent shows then

nevermind guys :(

[Conspiracy]

He only served seven months, by the way.

[Ronin]

That is seven months too many.

"was jailed for four years after customs officials who stopped him on his way through Dubai airport found a speck of cannabis weighing 0.003g – invisible to the naked eye and lighter than a grain of sugar – on the bottom of his shoe. "

it wasn't even possession really.

[Bat-shit]

Just over 2 grams for 4 years in prison. What a joke.

Even if just 7 months.. must have been boring and frustrating

[Toomanyhumans]

this is fucked up.
