Taking drugs across the border is considered trafficking.

Are you talking about smuggling?

Doesn't really matter the amount if you get caught. What you have to ask yourself is it worth the risk?

I've seen quite a few people get caught with weed on the train to Germany. I don't know what the punishment is but I do know everyone I've seen get caught has been removed from the train and taken away by the police.

And yes they have sniffer dogs sometimes.

Agreed, the mayor of Berlin is even thinking of allowing coffeeshops.

I think it is the smuggling across the border that is the real problem.

Armed, very serious police with sniffer dogs roam the train checking ID's. Trust me it is not worth it.

Dangerous, no. Stupid, yes. All the replies above pertain to taking drugs across the border no matter the mode of transit.
