Dilemma

Dave J · Post by **Dave J** » Mon 9th Jun 2008 12:10 pm

I can see how many are tempted, more so here in the UK. But with cannabis possably going back to a class B drug (this does have to go through a parlimentry vote first which is why I say possably over centainly lol) it will certainly put off a lot of people even trying any more.

But what are the odds of getting searched in the first place I always wander?. How many cases get searched?. As most would likely have cheap tobacco and or ciggys in them so they cant search everything to see if they have a few g's of gear in as way to much work and time. And from what I've been told they probably dont use sniffer dogs for cannabis in Amsterdam as I know several people having packed it in there case to always have got it back the other end. Besides whats the point in sniffer dogs for cannabis in Amsterdam to start with as there would be that many cases with caked on traces on clothes from coffeeshop visits that most cases would get flagged by the dogs I guess lol.

Then going through customs on foot!, when have you ever seen more than say 1 in 20 or 30 people searched by the customs guys there?.

Yes, I have bothered in the past myself. But just think is it worth the risk these days when you have had a good trip in Amsterdam?.

Sorry to have heard about your bad experience axeman m8. But I was pissing myself laughing all the way through it from the first mention of the kinder egg. Of cause I can see how it was'nt much fun for you at the same time!.

It was a rather haunting experience. But i do find it quite funny now. It makes a good story in the pub.

What probably raised the alarm was 7 visits to Amsterdam in 14 months!!

. Five of which were solo. Eyebrows were raised and they thought it was a bit suspicious. Cant blame em. I brought back shit loads in that time, somewhere in the region of 18-25 oz made it back. And besides i aint doin it again so it dont matter. Fuck em anyway.

I aint the one to tell people to stop bringing shit back. Do what you like. But like i said i aint doin Porridge for a bit of cannabis

Folks in the US - (Porridge = Jail Time)

I could only ever dream of that many trips in a short period. I think 3 trips in 15 months is the best I've ever managed. Kind of begs the question of less longer trips or more shorter trips?.

As for funny sayings, how about going into a newsagents and having a butchers at the mags on sale there lol. That saying confused near all Americans on 1 board I use several months ago!.

Anyways I really hope your in Dam in nov prob about nov 10th to 14th (fuckin Easyjet still taking the piss not releasing the flights for sale so still cant confirm any dates) axeman as you sure sound like a great guy to spend some time with having a few smokes!.

I often find some of your sayings funny too. I remember the time in the Flying Pig by the Vondelpark that some girl from NY couldn't stop laughing at the word "holiday". She'd never heard anyone no use "vacation" before.

Ah, to live and learn

I think using the term "holiday" is way better than vacation it just sounds more sophisticated.I enjoy learning the sayings from the U.K so when I visit I won't be completely lost.

Nothing funnier than the old fanny pack or bum-bag as we call it in the UK.

...And don't forget all you English guys... if you go to the States, never and I mean NEVER ask if you can "bum a fag"! Apparently it has something of a different meaning over there!!!

I watched the rather confused expressions when one of my friends asked where he could find a "fag machine" over there... "Oh man, you got machines for that over there in England???"

Fortunately I don't smoke cigarettes (fags) - just the weed...

Ahh... cultural differences, eh? You gotta love'em!

That was shocking to me the first time I heard it.

"Fag"here is a term for a "puffer"I think you guys say.Anyhow is it a term for a gay person.

"im gonna go outside and smoke a fag doesn't mean im gonna go and shoot a gay guy". I heard that somewhere on here in the past i think

Sheeeit!!! this topic has gone way off topic

"Fanny Pack" - the Americans say it with out laughing, fanny has a total different meaning over here. Ha ha im pissing me self now.

It can be used a a good insult to0, i.e "you fucking fanny".

Ahhh. you cant beat a mid morning joint and a cup of tea.
