Weeds on a plane... to australia

[LittLeWinG]

where in Australia are you headin?

[mattdestruction]

I'm going to Victoria. Until a few days ago I was under the impression that Australia was going to be reasonably warm, even though they're in the middle of their winter (since it's on the southern hemisphere), however the temperature isn't supposed to get above 55F so now I'm not looking forward to it as much. Fuck that, Australia's gonna be a trip.

I haven't searched for info on vacuum sealing yet, but I made a practice batch of cupcakes the other day and found that icing does a good job at covering up weed smell, so I suppose I should cook weed into something with icing so the airport security cant smell it easily. Either that or homemade cookies in a resealed chips ahoy bag (which, at first glance, would look more legit). For cookies, I was thinking about baking a clean batch and a dirty batch (with weed :P) and having the clean ones be in the front of the bag so they would be investigated first.

I'm looking forward to getting there and introducing myself to people by offering some sick widow straight from america. Have any of you guys been to or currently live in Australia?

Why not just send it to your destination through mail?

I'd feel more comfortable doing that but: a) I think it would get busted and b) I'm gonna need a good smoke after stepping off the plane

I've done a lot of international flying and have never seen a dog in the outbound security. I wouldn't think twice about bringing some goodies on the plane to eat while your in the air. As for incomming security, it depends on the country. I go to China a lot and going through their customs is unbelievably easy. You could easily bring weed in and most likley never get caught. Some guy stamps your passport, usually without even looking at you, and that's it. From what I have seen, there is no attempt what so ever at keeping people from bringing anything in to the country.

Coming into the U.S. on the other hand, is the worst as far as I've experienced. I've had U.S. customs search through all my bags simply because I told them I had brought back a few snacks from China. Even though I had it in my carry-on, willingly admitted to having it, and handed it over to them they still wanted to go through all my bags. They are serious pricks about it too. After ripping my luggage apart,and confiscating my snacks , they then yell at me for holding up the line while I was trying to put everything back in the suitcase. Like wtf else am I supposed to do. Seriously, U.S. customs agents get off on the fact that you are powerless against them and enjoy fucking with you. Don't bring anything into the U.S.

One other thing to consider when thinking about bringing anything in to another country is that what you are contemplating doing is called smuggling. Generally, penalties for smuggling are far greater than penalties for possession. Get caught with an 1/8th on the street in San Francisco and you'll get a warning, maybe a small fine if the cops in a bad mood. Get caught bringing an 1/8th through customs at the San Fran Airport and you'll do time.

you do realise that a possesion charge in china = Death penalty.

Have you ever mailed anything? I'm telling you man, I've done it many ways, even STUPID ways before I thought of a more intelligent way and never got caught. Plus, how would they ever know if it's your real address. I know for a fact that UPS doesn't scan anything and even if the local post office does, they aren't going to call the police for dogs for anything less than a 1/4. :thumbsup:

Just an FYI.... Dogs are specially trained for airports and they are trained in a way that if they alert, they will not incite panick in the crowd.

So instead of attacking your crotch, they will have a seat right next to you. Don't try to pet it though just run :dance: ....

If you really want to get it over there so bad, just balloon it.

oh.. The dogs would imediately alert to the snacks, so make sure you seal those up good. Once you get on the plane you can bust them open.. but you better make sure you cover the smell really well, cause people can be irritable on planes and they're more likely to point you out if they smell that shit.

Well I read up on this some more and saw what you guys wrote, so I've decided to just go without it. Bottom line is I really don't know wtf would happen if I was caught trying to enter another country with weed on me, and the unknown is a scary thing. Bringing a quarter to Australia really isn't worth risking fucking up my life when I could always find something there... I just need to stop being a weed snob and smoke that hay. The best idea I've seen though for simple transportation is to bag it up inside a slurpee, and just walk through everywhere with that. There's no way they'd xray a slurpee and you could totally just walk through the airport without the smell permeating the liquid and the plastic to get to the dogs. And baked treats definately can't work if there's a dog around... they'd run to that shit just cause dogs like food.

Sharpstoner: Thanks for the information, I feel confident that I'm making the right decision now. Hows the weed in Victoria? What kind of prices do you get over there? I'm pretty excited - leaving tomorrow and I know I'm gonna have a great five months!!
