Smuggling

[treetop]

Not really worth it to carry in an airport situation. There is a very long thread about mail/posting weed back to your domicile. A much safer and smarter bet IMHO.

Just looking for stories about smuggling...not asking for anyone's endorsement...of course it's risky, that's the point of the fun stories......I've been a smoker for 27 years..I've never been caught or arrested for drugs, and I always have them....it is good to be white in America...if you have any color to your skin you fucked .....America is full of racist cops...I drive every day with bud on me or smoking in the car.....I'm white so I'm never bothered....nice huh....I've found it's the same in airports......it's all about the nerve, and fuck authority ......

Ok, here's a story.

A number of years back, I was on the 420 bus from Maastricht to Aachen, Germany. And yes, the bus really was number 420. Crazy, I know, but check it out, if you want

I had about two grams of hash pressed fairly flat and wrapped in several layers. This was not a stinky affair and in a zippered off compartment of my wallet. As the bus came through the border town, it was stopped by two german cops who got on the bus and started to check IDs.

When they got to me, they must have found my ID interesting, since it said I lived in a different area of Germany. Instant suspect. They asked to me take off my shoes, didn't find anything and asked to me to step outside. One of them stayed outside with me and was obviously taking on the role of the "bad cop". He told me we would be doing a chemical swab test on my hands. Knowing my rights, I politely reminded him he was perfectly within his rights to request a swab test but that it was perfectly legal for me to refuse. Which I did. That kind of pissed him off and he decided I'd better stand there with my hands cuffed behind my back. Once that was done, he said he could take me to a hospital to get me x-rayed. I said, fine, if you think that makes sense and are ready to take the piss if they don't find anything (in that case, the police pay for it).

By that time, the other cop had apparently finished up in the bus and came back. He immediately sensed that things weren't exactly going smoothly and asked what was up. I told him I wasn't happy about his colleague overstepping his bounds and doing so when there was NO GOOD REASON to prove that I had handled cannabis while in the Netherlands. I wasn't driving while stoned, so there was NOTHING they could charge me with if I had weed particles on my fingers. At this point good cop arranged to get the cuffs off.

And guess what, that comment about weed solved the problem. Bad cop said they didn't give a shit about a toker bringing home a couple of grams and that they were looking for people smuggling cocaine and heroin. And the swab test he wanted to do was for cocaine and heroin only.

So I told them that I and the other people on the bus just wanted to go home and to go ahead and do the swab thing. He did, nothing showed up and I was free to go. We had a friendly chat for about 2 more minutes about the early phase communication accident that had led to the "escalation"

And I BET the people on the bus were suprised as hell to see me get back on after I had been handcuffed

Big fun. And sorry folks-on-the-bus, about the 10 minute delay this whole mess caused.

Think Gapie and i had a discussion about training pigeons in Amsterdam for that very purpose.

called stupid....mail it

I've had mixed success with the mail. But when I have been successful, it turned out to be a very good day.

Don't smuggle; the repercussions can be nasty.

From the link*

Meet Colombia’s newest drug mules: the carrier pigeons.

Police officers caught a bird trying to fly into a jail in the northeastern city of Bucaramanga. What gave the bird away? A bag containing 40g of marijuana and 5g of cocaine paste strapped to its back.



This is the second Colombian bird detained for ties to the drug trade. Last September, police in Barranquilla confiscated a parrot trained as a lookout for drug dealers, who would yell “run” as police approached.

don't even talk about it! put yourself on the firing line of being a marked traveler? not worth the hassle.. mail is one thing.. but on (or in) your person? no weed is that good! only thing i brought back was 2 packs of stroopwaffles from the Market.

Never thought of it as smuggling but being an American living in Germany. I visited Amsterdam three times in 10 years. First time was a literal drive by with extended family and kids. Funny trip but no funny business. Second trip I took alone, with the intent to buy and drive. Planned it all out, purchased about 7 gs of the best i could find. (Amnesia and Grey area), got in my car, drove the speed limit no matter what. Mind you, im driving a rather large mini van with german plates from a bavarian town. I know, not too smart but when opputunity knocks you have to go for it! I picked the most out of the way border crossing I could scan from google maps away from typical crossings like Aachen and Maastricht. It was close to Venlo but was a small road that ran through a nature preserve. Feeling confident I start driving towards border just as sun is going down. I cross the border without a hitch and it was exactly as I imagined. Remote and nobody around. No sooner had I crossed into Germany but up ahead I see blue Polizei lights flashing in the twilight. I start thinking to myself should I dump the weed out the window but how would I ever make that maneuver while driving. Can't turn around as I'm on this narrow two lane road running through the middle of no where. So I press on. Getting closer, lights getting brighter, I start thinking about how I would explain this to my family? How would I bale myself out etc?? Nothing would work I was sure. So I start getting close and the Polizei car is sitting smack dab in the middle of the road lights swirling. I'm imaging the inevitable questions in crude english and my trying to explain away why I am in the middle of no where with plates Fromm 200 plus miles away. As I said it was getting dark so I could not see what the Polizei was doing so I slowed down ready to stop and do the walk. I was completely sober but sweating like a pig but was extra worried about impact on job(US affiliate overseas). As I couldn't see anything ahead I put on blinker to pass vehicle slowly and as I come abreast I see a civilian car right in front of Polizei. Kind of a German low rider souped-up car. I breathed a huge sigh of relief at my good fortune and his bad luck. I passed and kept on going with one eye plastered to the rear view for the next 5 kilometers. Finally got on an autobahn about 40 minutes later and cruised all the way home about 4 hours; hauling ass. Never been stopped on Autobahn and fortunately it didn't happen that night. Went again not long afterwards with wifey and had a great time but I would never ever do that again. Have heard of Polizei shadowing US personnel at crossings and nabbing them. Not worth it. What happens in Amsterdam should stay in Amsterdam!
