international borders

[fatblunt]

Soooooo afoaf is planning on going to canada soon and was wondering how hard it will be getting a few pills and a joint or 2 across the border. Keep in mind that he will be traveling with 3 other party kids coming for WEMF, so the suspicion level may be a little high. Anybody have any experiences on this? Thanks,
fatblunt.

Welcome to the land of common sense:
If there is a party in Canada close enough to the border for yourself and your friends to know about it, so does the border patrol.
Wanna get away with murder? Take off your jncos and put on some dickies. Try a polo shirt and you and your 3 friends are just visiting your family in Canada.
If you look like party kids, you're going to run a *lot* more risk. Personally, I wouldn't do it at all in your situation. Try to find some friends in the big C or something.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE: The author of above statement does *not* recommend you break federal and possibly international law by smuggling drugs across the border. Any information found written by the author above is for *informational purposes only* and should not be used in illegal activity.

I live in Buffalo NY, so I cross the border alot.
I have taken pot(joint or two) and opiate pain killers over the border alot; more times than I can count. I have even brought a half ounce of kick ass nugs back over after buying them from a guy in a club; they tend to be a little tougher when re-entering the USA, so if you can don't bring anything illegal back. On 2 occasions I took about an ounce of pot across the border. I was going up to Toronto for the weekend with 3 other friends. We were all 18 or 19 at the time. I put the pot into my deodorant container. I removed the deodorant and the little plastic thing that supports it and stuffed it in there replaced the plastic thing and the deodorant, I had no problems. So find a nice difficult to find hiding spot. As for you pills I'm guessing it's gonna be E right? If you bring a few you should be fine. Don't bring an over abundance, and hide them nicely as well, just to be safe.
Also take the advice that the the other person has given you and dress conventional, jeans, t-shirt, no party clothes.
make sure you bring forms of ID, license and birth certificate if you can, sometimes they ask for ID and it help if your prepared.
Also make sure your car is good with registration, insurace, inspection and it's in decent running condition.
When actually speaking to the border patrol answer as truthfully as possible, without telling them anything that can get you in trouble. You cn bend the truth a litle bit, such as what your destination is. If they ask if you have smokes tell them. You can bring a few packs of smokes with you. No weapons, lewd objects, ect.
Also, they more than likely will ask everyone in the car a few questions, so have them be prepared (they are normally basic like citizenship, city you live in where you are going.)
So basicaly be prepared, stay calm, don't dress obvious, be curtious, make sure your contraband is hidden well and have fun, if you follow this you should have no problem, the border partol isn't all out to catch the "small" "private" users; they prefer to catch the big ones, but if they suspect that you have a small amount, and you do, and they find it; they will bust you without a second thought.

Well, it all depends on where you cross, and how the guards are. I have gotten pills, K, nugs, and some other things across AND back...I found that its alot harder to get into canada then out. On the way there, one time, the car was searched lightly and our ids were run, another 2 times, the car was searched heavily (ie. inside peoples bags, inside books, notebooks, etc) TWICE by 2 different people. I have also been waved thru. on the way back to the US, ive been waved through every time. They sometimes have dogs there...a friend of mine got strip searched on the way there because the dogs smelled a hint of resin on one of his lighters. So, its your choice...
