Don't do drugs in Libya

In Tripoli airport there is a new large board warning against the use and smuggling of drugs.

Libya calls for our co-operation

"to pluck out this destroying lesion and to protect our chaste society from its destroying risks, so don't hesitate to contact us to give any information that may help the security agents in tracking the trace of who may his soul entices him to violate the values of our happy jamhiriyan society."

In this context, it also advises strongly against carrying baggage for other people, with the advice: "remember that law do not protect stupidest."

At the top of the board is this stark warning from "The Revolution Leader" himself:

"Wines and drugs are total destruction weapons. Hashish is like the bacteriological and chemical weapons and the atomic bomb. Person who deals therewith he seems like he takes a weapon from the enemy and do explode it inside his country."

You have been warned.
