    High time, Ganja should be legal, growing and consumption should be allowed for medical purposes, Only trafficking should be banned, Govt can make huge income by having Their own Ganja shops for registered users. All try this natural herb, mostly students at some time at Their age. Govt cannot ban a natural plant used for religious purposes and for getting high. More accident s/ death's, trouble is caused by Alcohol and tobacco consumption than Ganja.

    This guy is so young,possibilities that he must be going for the first time and somebody might have used him as a carrier.
    I really pity on him and if my guess is right,then it was good that he was caught here rather than in middle east.5174

    Dear officials of Mangalore airport,
    You are doing a good job by catching those passengers who are smuggling in gold, at the same time for people who are going to gulf countries if you find that they are carrying contraband goods then it's better you call up the official in that country and give them info about the passenger and tell them that you are boarding him.
    The lesson here is that fellow will be inside jail for 10 or more years. If you catch him here after few days he is out on bail until you catch him again.
