Karma  - Is Nepali people no nothing better then to protest   |80.198.248.xxx |2009-10-05 18:53:39 So whats the big deal security supply marijuana to other prisoners. Do not you people know that marijuana is now legal in most of the western countries and there is no bad side effect from smoking it. This article is quite confusing what is relation to HIV, Hepais, and separate cell and marijuana. How is this related to the story. Nepali writer never cease to amaze me. Anonymous   |120.50.26.xxx |2009-10-05 10:12:10 what does " equal treatment" mean? Does it mean that rest of the inmates should get the privilege of being supplied with marijuana?
