What Dope Placed Weedless Wednesday on a Saturday?🚬🚭🤣

Saturday February 21st, 2026

"Weedless Wednesday is a special day encouraging smokers to take a break from cannabis for 24 hours.
This event, part of National Non-Smoking Week, aims to boost awareness about the health risks linked to the use of marijuana.
It’s a chance for smokers and other marijuana users to experience the immediate benefits of quitting, even if it’s just for a day. This brief pause can kickstart longer-term efforts to quit entirely."

I just finished ready Schapelle Corby's autobiography.

She's the woman convicted for being found with 4.2 kilos of marijuana in her boogie board bag at the Bali airport. 

I picked the book up at an Op Shop earlier this year only because I remembered my sister saying that her daughter (my niece) used to cut her hair (or Schapelle used to get her hair cut where she cut hair) when Schapelle returned to Australia, so I thought maybe my sister might want to read it.

But I decided to read it before I would give her the book (which will be tomorrow when I see her for her belated birthday party get together ... not that the book is her birthday present though:-), because I just always assumed Schapelle did it, or took the blame for a family member, with all the rumours swirling around in the media and public opinion at the time.

BIG TALK:
Did Schapelle Corby Do It?
PART TWO

After reading her book and listening to current podcasts about her, I still don't know if she was guilty or not, but there are so many bad players mentioned in this book in hindsight that it reminds me of the movie 'Rashomon' that I watched recently, where you don't know whose story to believe.

Rashômon (1950)

There are people like criminologist Paul Wilson who was called to give his view on Schapelle's innocence and who would later be jailed on an historic pedophile charge.

I've never met Paul Wilson, but I did know a guy who he wrote a book about on a murder charge that sentenced a man to life in prison on DNA evidence alone.

Then there is Andrew O'Keefe who is now a media "soap opera" story himself and who would later be jailed for being off his face on illegal drugs and domestic violence charges.

And Schapelle's half-brother, who did her no favours for later on getting caught busting into a drug dealer's house and stealing money and cannabis.

So, you don't know who to believe when you read this book and listen to the latest podcasts.

There are 'Rashomon' stories all round in the Schapelle Corby case, from cops, airport custom officers, prison guards, media personalities, journalists, friends of the Corby's ... and the Corby's themselves.

The book is worth a read no matter if you think Schapelle's story is true or not.

Happy Weedless Wednesday for this Saturday in 2026:-)
