Police find that 'holy sand' was drugs (http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/01/12/priest.drugs/)


(CNN) -- A man dressed as a priest caught at Amsterdam's airport with three kilos of cocaine under his vestments claimed to police that his packages contained "holy sand", Dutch police said.

"He refused to be searched saying that he was a religious person and it was not allowed," Van Aapel said.

"However, this is normal procedure so our officers insisted. They asked him again and after the second time they carried out the search and discovered the man had packs strapped to his legs below his priest's clothes. He told us they contained holy sand," he said.

This must be the joke of the year.

Is the holy sand mentioned anywhere in the Bible?

I thought you could sell drugs in Amsterdam?
Or was it you could have only a limited amount on you?

Can't remember.
Apparently, this guy isn't a priest...So what's the discussion? Just another guy caught with cocaine.

In amsterdam, Marijuana is legalised.. like the cigarette industry.. Only certain places sell it and they have to be licensed.. etc

Any other drugs are illegal. Except medicinal ones. :D

Oh I see, thanks for clarifying that...
Prostitution is legal too I guess...And they get taxes for it.

yep.. it's not the only country to legalise it. Tunisia for example..


The thing is, if you legalise, you can cash in on it and also regulate it especially where quality comes in.. much like the cigarette business. The government gets money from it, but also makes sure they don't kill you.. too suddenly. rofl
