banged up abroad drugs pt1

[lesterclaypool1]

A large company will be closing in a few months in a border community near where I live. I expect that drug busts at the border will go up in relation to this. Imagine the employment that could be created if we ended the prohibition related to this idiotic war on drugs that no one will ever win? Even figuring in the jobs that will be lost in incarcerating people who are suffering an illness that has branded as criminals the numbers will easily employ those people in this new form of commerce.

@davidsanchezvasquez as you probably know megavideo has been seized

[si4106]

lucy is well nice i sooo understand how they feal get out of the uk..bloody depressing country

[lesterclaypool1]

@si4106

Agreed, sad to think of a lovely girl like Luce stagnating in some UK kitchen 60 hours a week.

I love the UK. I love the people and I love the potential that still exists in this once great Empire but I hate that this potential is laid to waste by unreasonable taxation and unreasonable qualifications demands for even the simplest of jobs.

[AF3NI]

are you fucking stupid you think you gonna bring weed in to amsterdam

? they so stupid ahaha weed is legal here we can have it in or own home in the yart if you gonna smokkel then you need to know what you have with you

[lesterclaypool1]

@AF3NI

The weed laws in Amsterdam are fucked. I know cafe owners that can't keep on top of business demands because of the way that the decriminalization is legislated, this leaves a huge gap in the market for illegal pot. Perhaps YOU are the stupid one for not taking advantage of this black market business opportunity?

[HashHishSmokaSMD]

i love Amsterdam my favorite city in the world ! go over every few months with my pals bring a few oz back each for personal best weed in the world ! PEACE

[neonmangos1]

they sound like bears WE CAN LAST THE WHOLE WINTER? wtf get a fucking job and survive the whole YEAR U NOOB

[PICLex]

LOL this show has a reccuring theme....!

[SURAJDA619]

lol at this time 5000 pounds was 10000 euros! id take the euros :p

[lesterclaypool1]

@SURAJDA619

I think that it would be a bit harder to launder the euros than the pounds in the UK. You figure that into the equation and taking the pounds, although a lesser amount, makes more sense.

[shanehume]

F**kin stupid idiots

[tarathetarantula]

Her lips look like a vagina.

[kandeeapplegirl]

I SWEAR I HEARD THE CHICK SAY THEY GOT A DAUGHTER...wtf and they're there shagging the dog.! go home stupid asses (without smuggling drugs)

[botchalism]

Wait wait wait, isn't weed legal in Amsterdam, WTF LOL

[TheAlienFan]

@botchalism Nah,you can smoke it in the coffee shops and I presume that they allow so much for personal use in private. You couldn't walk down the street smoking a spliff.Having said that,what do I know.Am not dutch,lol FTW : )

[botchalism]

@TheAlienFan Yeah...just like you can't walk down the street drinking alcohol.

[scumgod13]

@TheAlienFan My sister lived in Amsterdam 5 years and your pretty right. You can smoke at your home and the coffee shops. Thing is, their shit is 20 times as potent as the best U.S. stuff so really you don't wanna be out in public stoned off your ass as there are people that take advantage of stupidly stoned Americans/British.

[TheAlienFan]

@scumgod13 Never been there but it's somewhere I always wanted to experience.Looks like a beautiful country but it must be a good laugh in the coffee shops : )

[AF3NI]

@TheAlienFan i live in holland and its a ugly country with ugly coffeeshops but its chill you can smoke everywere and thats all

[robingahan1234]

it sounded like she was going to say heroin just before she said marijuna.

[MrPachy5]

actually id like to go to ibiza in winter :)

[frozenstrawbs]

LOL

[dickies673]

these people are fucked up in the head

[nahbollox]

so unattractive when girls say 'man'

[harrynking777]

@nahbollox Yes, I thought that too. She sounds more like a builder than a women. I can imagine how her parents must have sounded.

[si4106]

any where but the uk..you can see what they mean 

[actiondork]

Nothing good ever comes from "some bloke I met at a pub"...

[Babania1]

I cant believe this pair were so gullible!

[skylineXpert]

this is amazing, it shows what some people are willing to do in desperation

[smz62582]

weed in amsterdam = Fair, stress on the fair price , High Quality and LEGAL.

weed in Costa Rica = low price and low quality and ILLEGAL.

- Ok, to be fair im sure that there's some dude or possibly women in Costa Rica, growing dank herb.- but this makes less sense than smuggling drugs

[thc024]

@smz62582 i know right ;) lol

[smz62582]

weed in amsterdam = Fair, stress on the fair price , High Quality and LEGAL.

weed in Costa Rica = low price and low quality and ILLEGAL.

[costateguise]

If they were that broke they wouldnt be getting pissed everynight.

[findlaymcarthur]

wat a pair of ...ehhhrrr slits .....

[honkydudeman]

haha i LOVE IT WHEN DRUG RUNNERS GET LOCKED UP HAHA HEHE

[AwakenFromTheSlumber]

To try to smuggle drugs into a country, you have to be a COMPLETE DICK end of story.

[gmarthansen]

@AwakenFromTheSlumber

you're right, but its funny how these series make one feel like the mules are completely innocent, they are just unlucky :P

[AnneLien1987]

@AwakenFromTheSlumber I agree.

[jerramy]

This show really keeps you on the straight and narrow. When you are a young starving student or anyone else who needs money, the temptation to make some quick money can sound perfect. This show lets you know how it really is and not the glamorous quick buck predators like to con you into thinking. If it is so easy, risk free and lucrative, why aren't they doing it themselves?

[jerramy]

It is very difficult for foreigners to find this series. If you wait for Torrents it comes years later. If you wait for your country to buy it for TV, it comes even later than that. Nat Geo keeps a real tight hold on it's stuff. I would like to find a site that does streaming if anyone knows how I can find episodes past year 6, would be eternally grateful. Of course, could buy the dvds from Nat Geo, but who has that kind of money as a student? I'm happy if I can afford my rent.

[macrent2]

Crafty Dutchman!

[hugalpugs]

@ukurbanfarmer yeh, for humans. But the sniffer dogs are trained to smell right threw it, and they can :S

[ukurbanfarmer]

@hugalpugs Im going bangladesh for now though lol i just wanna bring a Q (7grams) - yh im worried about dogs and xray

[RiChYeMpAkAdOr]

@hugalpugs yeah, see the Mexico episode, but you should be already in jail :O

[ukurbanfarmer]

does coffe cover up the smell of weed

[metrOjedi]

@ukurbanfarmer just get bubblehash they can't smell that...

[ukurbanfarmer]

@metrOjedi dont think bangladesh has that lol

[macrent2]

@ukurbanfarmer dank coffee yeah!

[kingsblendstrain]

the guy said "she blew me" LoL in what way did he mean it?

[djkissbird]

@kingsblendstrain lololol

[gillchristopher]

I am sorry that they were nearly broke, but OMG i just.. I mean why the flipping hell would you smuggle drugs thru customs I mean come on.

They new what they were doing was wrong,, and for what 10,000 euros thats too little.

[thecyberpunkten]

This is so fucking stupid, will any one explain to me why the fuck it says cannabis would be needed to be brought into AMSTERDAM... and its AMSTERDAM. IDIOTS.

[geoffcorc88]

2 losers

[MrTommyRico]

i dont understand that scottish guy

[mufferrs]

if anyone asked me to deliver drugs the first thing id ask them is why the fcuk dont you do it yourself

[longlifemilk3000]

DO NOT WATCH THIS AS PART 4, 5 & 6 AREN'T AVAILABLE

[j3m4z]

At first when i saw this programme on my tv guide i thought it was a porno. Turns out its a pretty good documentary.

[k1i1m1]

All the people in these shows that get done smuggling are all the exactly the same...idiots

[JMcLovn]

What came first banged up or locked up abroad? Banged up in america means your reeally whacked or high or even drunk. "Yo dude you were all banged up last night"

[dorinocco]

@JMcLovn They are the same series. Banged Up Abroad in UK means locked up, it was originally a series commissioned for UK channel Five. It transferred to National Geographic and when shown in America was rebranded Locked Up Abroad

[JMcLovn]

@JMcLovn In america at least in philly banged up means really drunk or really high. Like "you were so banged up last night u dont even remember" Its funny how we share a language but so many words have different meanings.

[elli120]

this should be shown in schools to teenagers. The 'it will never happen to me' ideal applies to so many issues teenagers face: drink driving/drug addiction/pregnancy etc. This is a valuable lesson and it shoudl deter many from trying to smuggle drugs.

[guiguox]

Couple of morons.

[kingsphatgirl]

Wats wrong with this girl,whe finds the whole thing very funny

[Clausewitzz]

Smuggling weed into the the Netherland...???:S

Did i smoked to much green tonight or does this story doesnt make sence?

[dragonfitter]

she is back in the uk now she has had scotts baby and is in holloway 

[MsTilscher]

@dragonfitter How do you know? Please put my mind at rest x

[dragonfitter]

@MsTilscher there was an artical in the daily mirror about holloway motherbaby unit and she was in it . it said scott was still abroad in jail

[MsTilscher]

@dragonfitter Thanx 4 that ... I first saw this on TV and was devastated at Lucy's position. All the ganga pricing discussions ignore the awful human story here. x

[primalenergy]

Wow two fucking druggy losers smuggle drugs and get caught. They deserve all they got, and they did not get enough punishment

[jherikurl]

LOL. This guy Scott is Simon Cowell's doppelganger.. Or illegitimate son.

[gnarain8]

its a lesson to learn for everyone ........

[MegaCeazer]

i watch loads of episodes of banged up abroad and out of all of them these people are the most blind stupid idiots ever. wat arse holes!!!

[gadigadigadigadi]

why would a guy from amsterdam want weed from costa rica

[gadigadigadigadi]

she is ugly as hell..

[bnpthackeru]

i feel so sad for this people! :(

[MrHateregistering]

I've figured it all out! The people going as drug-mules are just really really stupid! I remeber this stupid woman got me really annoyed last time I saw this episode, and she was so impressed with some fancy hotel room in the source country. The hotels and some pocket cash seem to be enough for these people to risk their freedoms. Until they're at the customs checkpoint of course, when they start sweating beads and giving themselves up acting paranoid as hell.

[WileeC]

It doesn't matter what country your in, it's the grower who makes the weed good. You can take the best seeds to any place in the world you want and if the grower sucks the weed is going to suck. A good grower can produce the best weed you have ever smoked from the closet of a shack in the middle of nowhere if they have the equipment. That's FACT.

[sheemsheem]

@WileeC U GROW MARIJUANA FBI ON U

[WileeC]

@sheemsheem Not if you cleared to grow it for medicinal purposes. You can grow your own. I'm talking acres and acres though LOL. But, you can grow a certain amount for personal use if have it prescribed. At least in certain states.

[Alex04HeadHunter]

Who gives a shit about which country produces the best weed. Just watch the fucking show, you druggies.

[enzomaidana]

@Alex04HeadHunter

hahahahahahah

true

[alim951]

yeh its ilegal 2 grow weed in holand stupid law but u can buy it from the shops hahaha and youl find its only gd weed there cause its all growen hydro so no the best weed dont come from holland at all

[FiveMinsAlone]

She read the book "Forget you.....daughter" & still took the risk! The purpose of that book was NOT to do it & always be aware when you're traveling.

A book should only encourage you something good that isn't illegal.

These 2 were just greedy & lazy who wanted to party all year & avoid work.

[Swedishnerd]

Retards!

[gadigadigadigadi]

wait a minute, the guy asks them to get marijuana ffrom costa rica when he is in amsterdam???WWHAATT??? loool

[Xc31]

we grow enough here in holland :P

[ConjoinedSkittle]

It was actually Columbian Cocaine.

They did know :o

[ConjoinedSkittle]

*didnt

[oldkido]

the raw stuff grows in costa rica and the market is in amsterdame einstein.

[Xc31]

i know people that have had over 10.000 canabis plants. dont tell me the raw stuff grows in costa rica.

[oldkido]

yeah of low quality shit. costa rica is higg grade black.

[Xc31]

like you know shit. best cannabis in the world is grown right here in Holland. and thats a fact.

[oldkido]

@Xc31

yeah and your a fuckin master of weed are you, how do you know anything. Common fucking sense, weed grows in hot arid climates with high temperatures in the wild. the shit they make in back gardens and living rooms with 100watt lights and heaters is fake shit quality grass.

[Xc31]

yeah dream on.

[2491cc]

@gadigadigadigadi It has to come from somwhere. Also, drugs aren't actually legal in Holland/Netherlands, they just dont inforce it very heavily.

[anjeroxjp]

@2491cc Trust me the times that Holland needed to import weed from south america is long gone. If you ever compared current dutch weed with south american weed you'll know why. There is some hash import from north africa/middle east. Marihuana is mainly grown in holland itself. And 80% is for the export market. Why on earth would someony import a few k's of shit weed when we have an overproduction of top notch weed in our own country.( they put coke in the bags Ive seen the full episode)

[2491cc]

@anjeroxjp Imported drugs are probably cheaper. It's all about money, not quality

[anjeroxjp]

@2491cc Sorry but that's just not true ,qualitiy=very important=money, 75% cannabisimport has been substituted by domestic production, the other 25 is mainly hash from north Afr. /Middle east . There simply isnt any weed import from costa rica to netherlands, especially 6K's like here, selling it to the shops would earn him 12000 euro's,minus 10.000 euro's he payed the two, minus the vacation costs, minus the amount he had to pay himself for the weed. =No profit/loss. Would Never Happen!

[2491cc]

@anjeroxjp Then i have no idea why anyone would try to smuggle drugs into the netherlands lol

[bluelingcod]

@anjeroxjp it was coke most likely.

[anjeroxjp]

@bluelingcod Duhh offcourse it was coke that's what i've been saying the whole discussion, did you even watch the full episode?

[gtenshi]

@anjeroxjp the person sponsoring their trip probably sold it somewhere else where the profit margin is higher

[anjeroxjp]

@gtenshi no they did not! just download the full episode it was cocaine they had to take with them!

And your suggestion doesnt make sense in this case. If you can get better weed for the same or lower price in your own country (netherlands in this case) then importing weed wil never give you a better margin regardless of where you sell it, because the dutch weed could also be selled somewhere else where margins are better ( wich happens with the majority of dutch marihuana.

[gtenshi]

@anjeroxjp by sold 'it' I meant coke. What's your point?

[thc024]

@anjeroxjp yeah it did seem like a lil 2 much 2 pay them ;) maybe the dude was gonna rip them off when they got back and say well u took a lil longer than expected heres 1k euro each or something i dunno.....but they are tryin to move near 7lbs of mari....i dont understand why the guy would go buy some schwag when hes in the dank capital of the world lol people wont even smoke his bud much less bu it ;)

[filthyfew77]

@gadigadigadigadi you took the word uot of my mouth hahahahahahahahaaaaa idiots

[anohsh]

most of this is fake loool

[blinkyboy86]

@anohsh wrong, some of it is reconstructed and others is genuine interviews by the people who were caught.

[ReadBelowThis]

@gadigadigadigadi what, u think they grow it all there!?

[GreenSideMusik]

@gadigadigadigadi yh was thinking dat too buh He can sell it to cofee shops and make a big profit especially if its the high grade marijuanna such as haze

[ProgramXable]

@gadigadigadigadi Next time watch full episode to understand. its about cocaine not weed, they are just fucked!

[xraycortina]

@gadigadigadigadi So you don't think that my plan to smuggle sausages into Germany will work?

[xraycortina]

And another thing. Cannabis is NOT legal in the Netherlands, it's just officially tolerated if done in the right place.

[acidparanoia]

Whats the point of smuggling MJ lol.

[nuMbERsRuNN3R]

These drugs trafficers sure throw a lot of the drugs away doing risky transports.

[whitehiphop1]

i know man i watch this fucking show and it seriously so humiliating how these so called organized criminals don't know what the fuck they're doing.

one episode they strapped heroin on a women legs...do they not for one second think that airports do pat downs. fuck sake

[nuMbERsRuNN3R]

Yeah, I mean you would think these smugglers would make contacts with flight attendants, baggage handlers, security, ect. Not gullible travelers.

[kirinlager49]

I can't think of why you would bribe a flight attendant, unless it was for a fuck at 30 thousand feet. Maybe you mean customs.. And yeah they do get bribed, but it's not likely that you'll see any of that in "Banged Up Abroad" - this show is about tourists, not large criminal organizations.

[kirinlager49]

They couldnt give a shit if these people get caught - the profit margin is so massive that even if only 1 in 100 made it through they would still break even.

And how exactly do you find it humiliating? Are you trying to imply that you're some kind of gangster? Are organized crims like these giving you a bad name or something?

Fuckin poof

[whitehiphop1]

actually they do give a shit fucknugget, the men in the drug rings go after the guy who responsible for recruiting the person who gets caught. you know shit

[stevema2]

the strange dude said "it's not exactly legal" and the stupid blonde replies "tell us about it it sounds interesting!" what a bunch of fucking dumbasses lmao :p

[TrojanLife4U]

2 and a half kilos of *cough* maryJane in a city that produces the stuff in bulk anyway. WTF do you wanna go to CR for it? Oh wait... er maybe.. could it be something else?

Man.. there's a reason these fkn morons are at the bottom of the food chain and working in fkn kitchens lol

[dragonfitter]

if stranger in a bar in amsterdam offers you a job do not DO NOT do it pair of dumb fucks

[repelghosts]

OH God we got out with over 30 k...bought my home, kids in university for thelast 3 yrs,or so, my life is wonderful...but be smart...and do not, do not, get TOO greedy...thats just human nature...you must shun that emotion.

[repelghosts]

I agree mate.

[alex3000us]

Would love to see Bush locked up for war crimes. It'll be fitting that he be locked up in Iraq.

[stevewins914]

Great show

[thestreetdogg]

can't wait to see locked up in USA, like 1st world country...where innocent people were executed...

I like to see a video of Guantanamo also.

[shocx112]

first of all its locked up abroad(or banged up abroad) and is aired in North America and the UK, so technically they aren't abroad. and second WTF are you talking about with innocent people being executed

[MuslimApostate]

this is a british show smart one. And obama is moving those inamtes to europe so they should do one for the uke and other eu nations:)

[monikowisko]

They were such stupid.

[fanguism]

she said costa rica is not a nice place to get caught in. hmm... i wonder where is the perfect and heavenly place to get arrested.

[awtystanislas]

hum, france is a nice place.

[dragonfitter]

i would say australia 7/8 years for drugs no death penalty and the speak english

[Terminator860]

She read about Sandra Gregory getting 25 years in Thailand for drug smuggling and went ahead to smuggle drugs internationally? OMG what a fucktard!

[suckmylemon]

Since they are considered EU nationals they could have found legit jobs and earned the money to go back. How weed can make the brain go numb.

[hootsmonratoot]

silly

[DOSMILPHIL]

Doh!The dam is full of the best weed and you thought you were bringing back hash,my asssssssss.Dam long time to do..........shame
