The dangers of bringing weed into the US are far greater than those in taking it to most European countries. I just don't know why you'd bother with the risk at all when marijuana is much better tolerated in most of Europe than in the US and, by all reports, is very easy to acquire.

Is this in response to me? If so, please re-read what I posted. I am not taking weed INTO the US, but into EUROPE.
As far acquiring some over there, I could, but the quality is very very bad.

He meant that you could purchase some in Europe!

Two posts and the noobie is lecturing Buzzby? Seems to me that your mind is made up, gungrave, why are you troubling us with your questions? You want us to tell you which one method is better than another for international smuggling? Only youthful ignorance would assume that (firstly) if caught in Europe, it would be no big deal and (secondly) the quality MJ is very very bad in Europe.

Since you have read this thread . . .
Can you explain to me why the shampoo bottle thing doesn't work?
Do you understand the difference between Security Screening and Customs?
Will you be traveling alone or is your whole family going to get strip searched?

I have read this thread and I don't appreciate you acting as ignorant to everyone else because they choose to take it abroad.
I suggest you RE-READ what I wrote. The quality of the bud in the country I am going to in europe is bad. This country in particular has low-grade bud. I also did not say getting caught in Europe is no big deal. Stop putting words in my mouth.
To answer your questions, this thread has said that the shampoo bottle thing does not work because of the density the x-ray machine can measure. Not only that, but the TSA has released a report stating that the shampoo bottles are remiscent of plastic explosives and require further checking on particular bags.
I understand the difference between both. I've been through to europe at the very least once a year. I arrive, show them my passport, and then recover my bag from baggage claim. Upon leaving they would question me about what I have in my bag. They do not x-ray it again.
I'll be traveling alone.
I think it's ignorant that you dismiss any idea of smuggling aboard. Yes it is a big risk, but to denounce it completely comes with a bit of bias to your situation.
Can I ask, how did you place the weed in the coffee can? Did you put a bag in there or did you place it under the coffee. Either way, you were caught because of an x-ray malfunction which caused them to search with their HANDS. It was a unique situation.

I am two and a half times your age, kid, so perhaps my "ignorance" and "bias" is just good common sense and worldly experience amongst travelers.

Point proven.
Whatever you say kid, or bran muffin. Or cupcake.

Hey everybody.
Let me first say that i got quickly bored with the first few pages which seemed really full of bs but from page 60 on, it seems the information was much more relevant and... well... interesting hehe.
Im flying to the states from europe and thenm again within the us.
Now if im bringing anything with me, it will be hash. I guess imagine a middle finger's size worth of it. Give or take.
It's my first time in the US but I've gotten quite a lot of hash through in shampoo bottles, mostly in flights between israel and france (i know israel has quite a lot of security, obviously).
Now what im asking is, will hash in a shampoo bottle show the same kidn of density difference... because really it's a solid, much different from a baggie of weed.
Several of you here seem to maybe be able to shed some light on my little issue. I've always wondered cuz people who usually post on english boards talk about weed, and very rarely the common hash stick that you see in france for instance.
Cuz obviously i dont wanna tape a hash stick in my pants, would be too embarassing trying to explain to the person there you have a wooden penis or something when they search you lol...
Anyway, im really eager to hear what y'all can tell me about bringing hash into the US and see if its any different than bringing weed.
Oh and hmm... i dunno if this will actually get to anybody, especially coming from an anonymous user like me, but... Well here it goes, if ANYBODY, at all, living in Atlanta or Oklahoma City feels like doing a good deed. Please leave me a little PM or email, it doesn't engage you to anything but get to chat with me and see if im worth being helped out (and hooked up hehe).
Thanks for your time people,
Dav

Why risk the severe federal penalties for bringing illicit drugs into the country when you can get weed so easily here? Airport security is very tight here and the shampoo bottle thing is so old that's the first place they look.

I wouldn't recommend flying into the US with drugs in this day and age.
