Article is in Spanish

I may be wrong but nacion is the national newspaper in Costa Rica, so its probably true

 

[bunchabums]

I thought 60 grams was the legal limit.

What?

The apprehension was made at about 2 pm by officers of the Fiscal Control Police (PCF), after they discovered that he was hiding a can of soda in his suitcase, in which he carried marijuana.

Wow they saw through the screw top soda can gambit. That's impressive work right there, if disconcerting. I thought that was totally bulletproof.

edit: how do you fit 2 ounces of weed into one of those little novelty soda cans?

 

[steveluck7]

Guys, he was just holding them for Ty law’s cousin

It’s probably harder to find Arizona tea in Costa Rica than weed, so the cops had reason to be suspicious when they found the can.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Was he entering the country with the weed or leaving with it? Regardless, he’s an idiot.

Arizona Iced Tea Cans are "Big Can". 23 Ounces! 21 ounces to spare!

Nice work, Rutgers

 

[SMU_Sox]

Didn’t expect that kind of a rookie drug smuggling mistake from a veteran.

 

[slamminsammya]

Cant he just buy pot in Costa Rica?

Cant he just buy pot in Costa Rica?

The easy answer, yes. Most hotel staff can help you there. The problem is the quality of the pot is usually not what you’re used to if you get good stuff back in the states. Not that I speak from experience or anything like that...

It's a sad state of affairs when one of the few times Americans use the metric system is with drugs.

Back in my day, Snoop didn't say “so we gonna smoke 28.35 grams to this.”

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

I met him at Kowlooon after the Steelers game. He was doing a signing there. Nice guy. Didn’t look high at all.

It’s weed. I can’t see the Pats cutting a good defensive player over pot. I do however see a suspension coming his way.

 

[Marciano490]

Guy should just drink and take opioids like a good citizen.

The thread title needs more specificity

Harmon issued a statement via Instagram — “I would like to extend my deepest regrets and sincerest apologies to Patriots fans, my teammates, my coaches, the Krafts and the NFL. In addition, I apologize to my friends, family and especially my wife and two sons. Friday does not represent who I am or the person I strive to be. I am committed to doing everything within my power to regain the trust and respect of everyone who believes in me as an athlete, role model, person and friend. I appreciate your understanding and, once again, I apologize with all my heart.”

[RoDaddy]

This is the worst Pats off-season ever

 

[Reverend]

He can rest assured that he has regained every bit of my respect that I lost for him over wanting to smoke higher quality and safer weed than what might have been available on vacation.

Every bit of respect.... or every ounce?

 

[MuppetAsteriskTalk]

Every gramo.

 

[Reverend]

Yeah, that was a missed opportunity on my part.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who instantly understood Duron Harmon in this moment.

 

[brandonchristensen]

There has to be a last minute interception joke in here somewhere.

 

[slamminsammya]

Doesnt play well in traffic.

 

[EricFeczko]

From the photo it looks like three gram cartridges with nylon tips, which look busted (all three appear to be leaking), and four grams of concentrate, plus an ounce of flower.

I suspect they are calling it 60 grams because 7 grams of concentrate is roughly the same as 35-40 grams of good flower -- could be ive my math wrong since im doing it in my head.

I wouldnt be surprised if harmon thought nothing of it -- flying domestically with this stuff is no big deal nowadays (well maybe not the flower).

I know, right!? It's like he doesn't even want to participate in our opioid crisis.

It’s as likely as anything that he’s being charged with whatever the line is for the next tier of offense minus one unit. Like, as a prosecutorial decision.

Dude. Just stash it in Kevin Faulk's cousin's jacket next time.

[brandonchristensen]

He was trying to come back but was intercepted

How’s that?

 

[bigq]

Busted. Coverage (of contraband) was inadequate.
