Ganja Queen: A Good Argument For Never Traveling, Ever

Monday night's new HBO documentary (part of their summer documentary series) is the scary, Brokedown Palace-esque nightmare story of an Australian woman who traveled to Bali in 2004, checked her luggage, and was arrested for the ten pounds of pot the Balinese officials found in her bag. In Bali, such offenses are punishable by death:

I can't BELIEVE what this girl is going through. I wish there was something someone could do. This is like a super bad dream. I pray for her every day.
