Thats a little bit like saying "All t1ts are the same, once you've seen one set, you've seen the lot". The reality is they are all different although they are basically similar.
Dope is the same. The seeds are the key and different quality dope produces different quality seed. The growing proceedure, hydroponic or otherwise, only determines the conditions and manner in which the plants are cultivated and does little to determine the quality (for lack of a better word to descibe a narcotic). The botanist of the world could probably explain it better, but it probably comes back to the genetic make up of the dope, in the seeds.
Whether dope is grown hydroponically in Bali or otherwise, is not the issue in this case. Travellers to Bali see plenty of warnings of the perils of bringing drugs into the country. If you ignore the warnings, are caught, tried and convicted, you must expect to suffer the consequences of your actions. Making a "crying" circus for the media does little to invoke sympathy in the judical system of the sovereign country involved.
No one takes marijuana to Bali, anymore than they would take cocaine to Columbia or heroin to Afghanistan!
No so called "Australian Aussie Gold" has ever been detected in Bali...ever!
Indonesian law requires at least two pieces of concrete evidence before a conviction can be sought. They had the mj itself as the first piece...so where did the second piece come from??
But first, who do you believe?? Do you believe those that were begging for an investigation into how the drugs could have got into Schapelle's bag...and demanding fingerprinting of the bag containing the drugs...and demanding forensic and dna testing for origin...and demanding luggage weights to compare with check in weight...and for cctv tapes to back up their story???
OR, do you believe those that did everything in their power and bent over backwards to avoid the lot?? Which one is it?.. You've got two choices, it's not hard, pick ONE!
So where did the second piece of evidence come from that the Bali police required for a possible conviction?? Well, guess what!.. It came FIVE MONTHS LATER, when the customs officer was sworn in as an officer of the court, and in doing so, it was then deemed that his testomony will be accepted as the truth!
Yet that second piece of evidence was right under their nose on day one! Why would they ignore the best evidence they had.. and then scrounge around for five months before they got it when they could have nailed Schapelle right on the spot on 8th Oct, 2004?
It would have been impossible for Schapelle to continue pleading innocent...wouldn't it?!
So have you worked it out yet?...That the drugs were never in Australia in the first place, but that they were planted in Bali, hence the relluctance by the Bali cops to carry out any tests or investigation!
You don't need to be a Rhodes Schollar to see who put the drugs in Schapelle's bag, just common sense shows that!
