Who brings drugs to an all you can do drug party? It like bring a porno to a porno shoot.
- My old housemate was heading to Amsterdam for the weekend with some friends and the one friend stayed over at our flat the night before so they could leave early and I shit you not she was asking what drugs to take with them. Through the damn airports.
  
  We had to tell her to not try anything because she will most likely get caught and she'll most likely be able to get what she wants over there.
  
  These people exist.
- People are fucking dumb, what else can you say?
  
  Like that dumb basketball lady who brought weed into Russia, what the fuck did you think was going to happen lol
  
  Brittney Griner, yeah it was dumb but that was more political. She probably been though there many times. They just chose to enforce it that time.
  
  I don't think she brought weed into Russia, think it was several vials of CBD oil.
- I think it was when she boarding her flight from the Netherlands to UK.
  
  Im sure you can get weed in England. Hell you can get weed damn near every country.
Taking bags without your consent is kind of airport security's deal. They're explicitly allowed to do that.
well, what else do you expect if you take weed through an airport.
- B-B-But it was "my security guy's weed!!! We told them!".
- I take weed through airports all the time. I'm pretty surprised Amsterdam of all places gives a shit.
  
  Contrary to popular belief, weed is not legal in the Netherlands.
  
  I think it's like Las Vegas and open container laws. It's a city ordinance that weed is allowed not a national one. And an airport is a national asset even if it is in Amsterdam.
- It’s really not as big deal. Nobody is going after it these days.
  
  This story speaks very much to the contrary.
Yeah thats usually how costums work if you have illegal shit with you (like 40 joints and shit) be glad it happend on the netherlands and not in england , they are wat stricter on weed them the dutch. Dumb plastic noise machine.
- Or Singapore.
  
  Taiwan entered the chat
- Does the US not have any British war criminals they could trade for her? Russia got their Merchant of Death back for only a WNBA player that knowingly took drugs to Russia. Osama would still be alive if they had just kidnapped Tom Cruise.
  
  The US will table 36 bills in the next few days in a rush to protect her (she's Trinidadian), whilst ignoring genocide, homelessness, opioid crisis...!
  
  OMG, did Taylor just twitch!!

About as much class as you would expect from Minaj

From the article:

Minaj took to X to update her followers on the dramatic events. "Now they said they found weed & that another group of ppl have to come here to weigh the pre-rolls. Keep in mind they took my bags without consent. My security has already advised them those pre-rolls belong to him. Oh yea & the pilot wants me to take my ig post down,"
- Must be nice to have a personal patsy
Fucking moron.

I absolutely love that she’s a “12-time Grammy nominee”. If she had ever won, they would’ve said that instead.
- You mean "12-time Grammy losses"?
- It's pretty cool for an artist to be nominated for a grammy. I don't know anything about this artist other than recognizing her name, but it's legit to list those nominations in your credentials. It's a real accomplishment.
  
  True, I’m just being an ass because I don’t like her.
- I don't think I understand what you're getting at; it makes sense that they would've called her a Grammy winner if she'd won a Grammy.
  
  She's bragging about losing 12 times.
Yeah police do that. Policing by consent is all very well, but it doesn't really work if it's at the criminals consent.
Oh, no! Anyway
Wait we can just tell cops we don't consent to them taking our contraband???
- Sure you can, but don't expect them take you serious.
LOL
