Keep your stuff either in the crotch of your underwear or inside your sock by the arch of your foot and pray for no dogs. There's absolutely no way around the dogs.

I've crossed the border between Netherlands and Germany several times, both ways, had no problems at all and seen no one else have any issues either.
Also have crossed Netherlands/ Belgium/ France/ Swiss and German/ Swiss borders with no problems.
One thing I did notice is that Germans tend to examine your Passport more closely checking your picture and face, also checking the hologram by twisting the Passport in the light.
Germans were also picky about the Passports in the airports too.... scanning most under their light projector/ scanner two to three times, also double checking the picture.
Also they have NO SENSE OF HUMOR... have yet to get one of them to crack a smile... just stern stares.

BUT I have heard and read stories were people have had problems in France and Germany... especially Uni/ younger and Stoner looking folks.

It's worth a try anyway..... kinda like seeing if you can make one of those British Guards crack a grin.... ain't happenin!
Guess they have high recruiting standards..... no sense of humor being top of the list.

*Flash Back* Drill Sergent's were a tough crowd too.... boy did I do push-ups! But damn it, some of the stuff they say or make others do was just down right hilarious!

If you got pulled over for one of MANY REASONS and searched, I'd say you'd have a little problem.
Transporting anything that's illegal either across the street or across borders has risks. It'd be best to use your own judgment, don't let others make those kind of decisions for you.

its this way at the dutch/german border, you shouldnt look like THE toker, means german police usually looks for the stereotype of a toker, its a bit racistic but they search blacks/other looking people more often than they would with the usual european (which means to them bright hair and bright skin)
just dont be stoned and keep the stuff under the garbage in your train (put it there with a tesa-strip or something....) and they cant do anything because they have to find it on your body (bags whatever....)
and even if they find it, if its not more than 5-6g you will be able to travel further with a fine (around 500-1000€ for a few g`s) or maybe ONE night in the cell

trains are searched more than cars usually!

what is a tesa-strip?

Purely out of interest as I have never heard of a tesa-strip and wonder what it is.
