Poppy seeds may have a light sedative effect, but even coffee and tea are more powerful drugs!<br /><br />CarmenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-45650194325458114992010-09-28T23:04:22.200+04:002010-09-28T23:04:22.200+04:00http://www.thenational.ae/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AI...http://www.thenational.ae/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100928/NATIONAL/100929382/1010<br /><br />It appears this is the dreaded "clarification".

I still find it very annoying reading such articles about Dubai jailing people for ridiculous small amounts of drugs that a person clearly not aware of the law... I believe confiscation the drug and a fine will be enough for very tiny portions and the case can be completed and wrapped in the airport.. no need to screw someones life in jail for thatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
