Its high time that Sri Lanka jumps on the marijuana band wagon. Legalise and make an industry of it and ban the use of tobacco. The national expense on health will also eventually drop as the tobacco use drops. But in this part of the world this is only wishful thinking

Sri Lanka seems to be a very famous destination and transit point for drugs. Every one is brining from all parts of the world and get caught in Sri Lanka. How come their baggage's are not screened in popular air ports. The big question what happens to all these drugs. Are they re shipped to some other country?

Do you show the passport for other communities too when get caught? Don't spread hatred DM. Please stick to professional journalism w/o inciting racism

In her country she would have been stoned to death for trying to sell drugs. Send her back to her country as a prisoner and let them deal with her. Don't waste our money up-keeping theseworthless women
