Yes I am sure these kids are confused at the bs re the laws on cannabis both in Australia and Indonesia. They are complete hypocritical nonsense not based in any way on the science. The damage would not have been smoking a joint but now rotting in a prison. Stats. Circa 20k die from ciggies, 5k from booze, almost zero p.a. from cannabis, in Aus. What happened is just a money making scam for local corrupt police. Call it as it is. I disagree with above post that Aussies (mainstream) often sit around bonging with their kids. That would be an exceptional idiot parent. Course it's a drug and all drugs have side effects. Hopefully the Indo authorities when they extract their 10k or whatever will let this kid go asap.
