Most of the European so called tourists are cheap back packers who hardly contribute to the country's economy. They live so cheap here that they extend the stay after one month. Time to be selective about the quality of so called tourists.

Nalin: you can't expect every tourist to spend heavily but everyone contributes one way or the other. Then big spenders choose other destinations over SL.

Is this the Sri Lankan hospitality? Treating tourists like milking cows. Well then I prefer to spend my holidays in Thailand, Vietnam or Indonesia.

Did the Foreigners bring the KUSH with them or , were they procured locally ? The Police and Narcotics Bureau seem to be just doing temporary detections year in and year out and seem satisfied. The business goes on without end and the Government and Judiciary does not care to end this menace totally from the country. Is it because Politicians are behind the trade ?

If found guilty must be sent to life imprisonment, no mercy what so ever, tougher sentence is a deterant and lesson for other drugs smugglers.

Some of the comments seem to be critical of law enforcement agents for detecting the crime! Why can't we appreciate the work done by the Police?
