    US man arrested in Nepal on drug smuggling charges

    KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Police in Nepal say a U.S. man has been arrested and accused of trying to smuggle drugs into the United States by concealing them in Buddhist prayer wheels and metal bowls and sending them with Federal Express.

    Police narcotics official Navraj Silwal says Kristian Peter Stiegler, 45, was arrested on charges of smuggling 2.5 pounds (1.14 kilograms) of hashish and 2 pounds (900 grams) of suspected opium. If tests confirm the opium, Stiegler could face up to 20 years in prison.

    However, Silwal says Stiegler will likely get a lighter sentence because he has been cooperating in police attempts to track the suppliers of the drugs.

    Silwal says Stiegler has been living in Nepal and India for the past three years.

      If we legalize weed and tax it, we defund the drug cartels and defeat the deficit.

      Drugs will always be available in America. If we make them legal and tax it and save all the money we have fighting this phony war on drugs we wouldn't have a deficit but there are to many people sucking on the government teet that would lose their jobs so it will never happen.

      Why would you go through the hassle to smuggle in hash? there's plenty of weed to go around being grown right here in the U.S.
