if you get caught in the US with the joints you will have to go to court in the the US and will be banned from crossing the border again because you will have a criminal record.
Your going on a cruise to other countries as well so whatever port your in you will be subject to those laws. I would NEVER risk it in a foreign country unless they were known to be liberal with pot laws. I had a buddy take pot into Mexico and he spent 6 months in a mexican jail. scared him straight! |

In Vancouver I've had the vpd toss out a fucking $160 half ounce and all he gave me was an unsafe lane change ticket lol
Montreal also seemed pretty lax although me and my friends were probably just stupid and didn't really clue in that it could be different than bc, but in downtown Montreal we were smoking in the street etc and none of the locals seemed to think twice
To show how much it's ignored by others in bc, me and 3 friends were walking up to game 1 of the playoffs towards gm place down Georgia smoking a joint amongst the huge crowds going forward, and besides the slight paranoia that comes with blazing I don't think anyone even noticed even as we were like 20 meters away from the gates at GM lol

The key here is you have to be smart where you smoke in or outside bc. It's illegal
And you might think its bc no big deal but you get geththe wrong cop and then your
In shit. As another poster said keep it in your hotel or where you are staying that's the best thing to do

I would never drive while high. that is the dumbest thing to do...
So has anyone been caught in the states with it? | Whatever girlfriend. Alcohol fucks you up way more than pot.
Also if your too fucked to drive, don't. It takes a seasoned stoner to properly drive a car just as good as sober. With that said, it's not hard.

Most Ottawa cops would confiscate it if its just a joint or a small bag. Some won't even turn it in, they keep it for themselves.
Even here in BC if you run into the wrong RCMP officer you're risking trouble. Many of the new recruits are sent out here, and they are from much more conservative provinces.

Until there's a roadside test for it, it won't be deemed legal cause idiots like you will abuse it. Don't drive stoned.

i definitely couldn't do much..

Yeah that's one of the reasons marijuana won't be legal. But hey lets change the subject instead of trying to state accurate facts like yourself has done. Lets talk about road side tests.
Of course I can tell someone of your nature is probably highly educated with probably some form of advanced education; what I can't tell is how you're too IDIOTIC to not know about mouth swabs. Which is what police officers use to detect marijuana in road-side tests.
But you're probably too smart and educated to ever try marijuana, let alone know anything about it.
Keep trying loser, until then FOKY.

Do you want a ticket in the morning for getting high the night before?

In Singapore, if you are caught with any marijuana, you can get 10 years in jail. If you get caught with more than 500g of cannabis, it's a MANDATORY DEATH SENTENCE.

Getting caught with weed on a cruise ship could land you the same charges as trying to smuggle drugs across the border or through an airport. The cruise ships travel between international waters and waters of neighboring nations.

One of my co-workers forgot she had 2 joints in the center console in her car when she was driving to Seattle with some of her girlfriends to shop. US customs found it and detained her for interogation, she was charged criminally and processed to county jail overnight. She is now banned from entering the United States except to appear for her court date and could be facing jail time.

^you know, the cop obviously knows what weed smells like and a cigarette is not going to mask that.. he just let you go.
ive been busted 3 times.. twice they just made me put out the weed and didnt even search us. the other time, me and my buddy had 3/8oz on us. we were blazing at a school at night and i saw a cop walk through the field w/ her flashlight. she saw us after a few moments and came towards us. 5 mins later, there were like 6-7 cops surrounding us. they searched us and found our weed, a pipe, and some other shit. luckily, they were there because of a reported break-in and we werent worth too much of their time. two of them took all our shit (gave us back our pipe even), and took us in the squad car to our cars, where they told us to call a friend to help get us home (didnt want us to drive high). so we pretty much got off real easy. 30mins later we were already buying more weed (duh), and when i took out my pipe, there was still a fresh fat nugget nicley packed in the bowl! true story..
they did also say that they "could" charge us for possession because we had more than 4grams (3/4oz is over 10g), but we were cooperating well so they were pretty darn nice to us lol.
one time my buddy brought weed and a pipe to seattle by accident... dumb ass... but we scored down there at a rave and put the pipe to good use.. we buried the pipe before we crossed back over. some dumbass sketched out asian kid at the rave sold me 2g for $22 bucks. i played dumb when he was charging me, and he was like, $20, which i thought was an amazing deal for seattle (i think he didnt know what it was worth), then hes like, WAIT..... $22.....
LOL good times.

true but here they dont have clear signs at the airport that tell you that you'll get the death penalty if you try to smuggle drugs. i have no sympathy for those who get busted trafficking in singapore and get hung at the airport... its one of their most clearly stated laws and its well known that they do not grant clemency pleas even through your prime minister or president.

A guy who only has 500 g's is a pretty small time dealer and not really an attraction for cops when sum ppl have 100x that amount. Here u will just get charged with possesion of marijuana with intent of trafficking....not too big a deal in BC to tell u the truth.
ive been caught smoking weed a couple times and they just took it.
