Acquiring illegal drugs with the stated intent of distributing to others? Resisting arrest? He’ll be going away for awhile.

Anyone who possesses cannabis candy in a country like Indonesia is incredibly stupid. The world does not hold as permissive attitudes toward drugs as the US. You end up in jail for a long time or perhaps end up dead.

When I lived in Asia, every year or two there would be some sob story about some Aussie surfer in Bali whose surfboard was full of cocaine or something and they claimed they didn’t know it was there. They’d be facing the death penalty and there’d be massive outcry from the Aussies and others. Trafficking drugs through muzzie countries is just about the stupidest thing you can do. If they took an extra day and went through Hong Kong, they’d probably get 5 years.

I wonder if the league warns their players about these things?

I don’t want him killed but he had to know that this was not OK since he has been there since 2022 and ordered them from thailand.

Shaw says cannabis candy was meant for teammates

Worse. That makes you a "dealer." Death for sure.

I am okay with his death penalty over this thing he did.

You don’t do this—in any country.

At least President Trump might protect him from being executed.

You don’t murder and execute people for weed.

Ditto Singapore.

I’m not sure if the chewing gum law is still in effect in Singapore but it was illegal to sell it. IIRC the issue was blobs on discarded gum on the sidewalks.

And I am for it.
