When I was backpacking years ago , I fly from Singapore to Australia and there was this young English lad (about 18) and his bird on the same flight.

He brought his bong and a bag of weed seeds from London to Singapore and on then to Australia.
He got busted in Perth airport on the flight from Singapore.

They just took it off him and he wasn't fazed. I tried explaining to him how bloody lucky he was not to have been caught in Singapore - he laughed at me .
Then I laughed at him - the knob would have done a couple of year stretch for that.
Another English guy nicked a pair of sunglasses in the airport shop - got sent down for a month or two I heard

Isn't there a potential death penalty in one of the south Asian countries for drug smuggling?

Yes ..... thats Singapore.
They stamp it on your passport on the way in.

The oft use phrase 'hookers and blow' is usually associated with the suited gentleman, business and limousines.

Marijuana of course doesn't fit in that picture.

Marijuana goes with twix bars, and mouldy couches.

So blow must be cocaine.

or possibly clarky cats.

Also from memory the pornographic series 'hookers and blow' had, for its cover, a young lady indulging of cocaine which is carefully balanced in a line on a gifted gentlemans member.

Clarky cats? Much better to have some triple sod or yellow bentines. Maybe even some boz-boz. It's a pity that that cake is so hard to find these days

Maybe the OP should give up the blow if he or she's a recovering alcoholic.
Having an addictive personality will only entice him or her to take risks and do stupid things.

The thing is if you get caught it'll bring all kinds of trouble and anxiety on yourself,could end up picking up a drink again.

100% clean and sober might not be a bad idea.

I'm highly addicted to Nestle's 'Almond Oats & More' cereal. There must be cocaine or heroin in it or something.

Mate of mine used to stick a bit of hash into his sock when we'd be travelling to the mainland in the late 90s early 00s, we'd sometimes fly to Bristol or Cardiff, or on other occasions get the ferry to Holyhead.

Never caught.

But then one time I was coming through Holyhead, heading back, and we were running a bit late for the ferry so I was running through the terminal when the Welsh polis pulled me aside and did one of them drug swab things on my holdall style bag, the computer beeped and flashed red and I had to empty me smalls all over the counter.

They did another swab on my passport, and it too came back positive. For COCAINE. Now, I've never taken coke in me life, but I had to explain that only a month previous I'd done a bit of a touristy trip from San Diego down into Tijuana, and a strip club in TJ may have been on the itinerary.

They eventually let me on the ferry when they obviously found nothing in me bag.

You can buy drugs anywhere in europe ,
how stupid do you need to be to bring 20 euros worth of blow,
when going to an airport ,through intensive security checks .
You risk missing your flight or being arrested .
blow =cocaine , ordinary people call cannabis hash or ganja .
people in arabian countrys have been sent to prison for carrying
a few cent worth of hash in their luggage .
Imagine going to prison for a year or more for a few cents worth of hash.

To answer you question, pretty much every time.

I wrap enough for maybe 3 joints in a skin and make a little pack that I keep in my pocket.

One time I had it in my carry on bag and walk right past a dog, he didn't react at all.

riclad · 24-08-2016 12:24PM

IF you are going to or from australia .you,ll stop off in abu dhabi ,
You might get arrested for 50 cent worth of hash ,
so whats the point of carrying hash.
When it can be bought in just about any country you might go to as a tourist ?
Is it some kind of thrill from the risk of getting stopped .
See nothing to declare tv program, they have dogs going past travelers in queue,s looking for drugs .
most luggage goes thru scanning machines too.

Years ago I arrived at Dublin airport to fly to Amsterdam. I was stoned (We had a joint before the flight to get started) and in the airport I found a quarter of hash in my pocket. I got an envelope and posted it back to myself. I was not going to be the first person arrested for bring drugs into Amsterdam. It never arrived.

When I was 15 I brought some grass back from London. Was bricking it in Heathrow. Getting on the plane I felt that Billy Hayes, and that at any second the runway would be flooded with cop cars and I'd be pulled from my seat and brought off to Wormwood Scrubs. Sweat was dripping of me. Dublin I was no better. Was sure some sniffer dog would come pounding out of nowhere and start barking at my jacket pocket.

Nothing happened though. That was the long and short of my career as a drug smuggler though. Don't think I'd have the nerve for it.

I just don't like the hassle and danger of looking for a bit at the other end

I bring yokes out to Spain all the time if I am going on a dance weekend. No problem, if you are going to be nabbed it will be on the Spanish side. I really could not give a flying about them.

Have you ever been stopped by Guardia Civil ?

Much better to possibly have the hassel of being stopped in international airport if a sniffer dog did go over the luggage and find anything then you could be pulled aside.
You could miss flight and I don't think insurance would cover it somehow.
Not worth the possible hassel.

As for the eehjit going through Singapore with drugs.
Darwin awards are for muppets like that and I have funny feeling that gombeen was destined for a visit to a nick or worse.

Also folks don't carry any in car coming back from France unless you may have caravan full of kids.
They don't ever seem to be stopped and have dogs sniffing their private parts.

I studied fine art in college and in our first year they brought us to Amsterdam.

You can only imagine how that went. On the way back, every second person was smuggling something or other. I remember one girl filling her paint pots with little bags of Holland's finest. Another guy just decided to go for it and had a massive bag of all sorts wrapped in cling film in the top pocket of his coat as he went through the airport.

Someone from the group was stopped at an x ray machine on the way through, queue them quietly freaking out - opened up the bag and the offending item was a craft knife :pac:

Order it on one of them dark net sites a few days before you leave and have it delivered to your hotel.
