Refuse to be hypocritical and hide what you do?
Declare it all at customs, do you?

No
but I didn't hide it either. Most of the time it was in my jacket pocket.

I wouldn't pass judgement on
your smoking habits, but carting the stuff through customs in your pocket is just bloody stupid.

Can't be that hard to track down a bag of weed locally. You'd really risk a prison sentance to avoid having to go out and track it down? Even in the Caribbean, where most places you can't move without being offered it?

Crazy. I hope your luck holds out.

The way I saw it then
rightly or wrongly, was that if stopped I would much rather be able to place my bags of weed straight in the hands of the law, than have fart-arsed about trying to hide it, and then get the rubber gloves treatment for my trouble.

One unfortunate by-product of this approach was that when flying back from Amsterdam one time, I put my jacket in the overhead locker. When I opened the locker when we landed, the effect was like a cannabis-flavoured stink bomb being unleashed. Many were the looks I got.

I deliberately took the stuff into the Caribbean so as not to fuel the drugs economy there. Talk to a local, see what they feel about loads of tourists buying drugs there - it's the thing that creates the most crime locally.

BTW all of this is very much past tense. Like I said, I've lucked out enough so don't intend to take any through any more borders...

I really don't think that handing over a bag of weed would make any difference to the ensuing search.

Hypocrite!
A real man would martyr himself for the cause.
