I'm assuming he didn't know the law or forgot that they were in his possession.

 

Anyone know what the penalty is likely to be?

Drug offenders are subject to a minimum sentence of four years in prison (additional fines may apply) if caught possessing it.

Indonesia.

 

That's where they tie you to a post, put a target over your heart and shoot you to death after keeping you in a prison cell for ten years while you beg for mercy.

Thailand is now a confirmed 'Narcotics Hub' status as people from all over the world descend on Thailand to purchase their drugs and export them to the rest of the world it seems. I blame Long Covid-19 for the foggy thinking on this one.

Holy smokes, thats about as long as that young American lady got for murdering her mother in a Bali 5 star hotel and stuffing the body in a suitcase and leaving it in a taxi trunk. 

 Violent matricide vs a couple of spliffs in your bag. Equivalent in seriousness?? I think not. Grow up Indonesia.

I'm guessing there'll be a gofundme page for him in the near future.

They already have "Land of smiles" banner in the airport. 

Another banner could be "Not Bali (anymore)"

Looks around 21 plus or minus, and is carrying drugs.   Old enough to do a quick google search.  No way he thinks weed can go to every country on the planet.   If that dumb, he wouldn't find the airport.   

 

He created this nightmare....... you can't shoot people and then say, "nightmare scenario."
 

Now, when people put drugs in your bags................then that's a nightmare.    

 

I'm in California and my house is literally built out of the ganga!!!!  Now I'll smoke the front door.  oh wait, is that a clever thing to do?  i'm soooooooooooooooooooooooo stoned...

Easier just not do drugs or kill people in Indonesia.

 

What deters me is its Muslim religion.  

 

Outside of Bali it can be pretty boring.

They've put notices up on the southern border crossings, and at the airport, warning people not to take any weed with them. It's upto 10 years in prison for possession in both Malaysian and Singapore and the death penalty for trafficking (>200g Malaysia, >500g Singapore).
