After all of this they realize none of us are holding anything so they let us go.

LOL, a friend of mine was arrested & went through booking etc finally got to his cell with a bag of pot in his shorts, he was so happy he made it, but flushed it when he got into his cell...

Sorry that happened to you, but them's the breaks, and one of the reasons I quit smoking pot years ago...

Life's too short to deal with that sh1t.

Stuffed a buddy of mine in the interogation room and he stuck his stash under the leg of the desk.
The cops then came in and searched him and then left again, so he picked up his bag from the leg and was released free and clear in bout a half hr.
I woulda left it !!

Try not to be so hard on the guy, people've shared stuff more deserving of flames on ATOT.

I've never had any sort of problems at all with the US/Canadian customs. After a few hours of driving, I can start to look like a pretty ragged and drugged out kid, but they've never been anything but nice to me. Just goes to show how finely tuned their bullshit detectors are.

umm since i wasnt dressed like a thug at all, im a fat white kid that had a brown fleece and jeans on... so gangster. lets talk about some more stuf u know nothing about.

Fat Joe, Big Pun, and Notorious B.I.G. were fat kids with brown fleeces and jeans on too. What's your point? Cuz you're white, you can't be a gangster? You had weed ash in the tray, you had a marijuana (which is a controlled substance in case you didn't notice) image on your cell phone. Do you want to quit now or go back to the border for another round with the Mounties?

yoru not fat your big boned

Big Boned? WTF? When have you *ever* seen a fat skeleton before?

Anyhow, it's funny you took that comment away. If you meant it, stick with your words and man up. Only thing funnier is:

1. You looked like a dirtbag, and are young with a potleaf on your phone, in a car that smells like pot, with a piece of a pipe in the trunk, AND a record for trying to smuggle pot across the border, and you call us retards? That's called the system working. Surprised they even let you into the country; they could have easily sent you home, or much much worse.

2. The fact you had to lift your nuts for a customs guard. Now that's some funny stuff, and almost balances out your comments that you removed. Thanks for the laugh.

the fact that his knee is 2x as big as mine before you tack on the skin/muscle... yes i would say hes big boned, hes been my brother for 20 years i think i know WTF im talking about

This is something I get to look forward to myself.

I drove up there awhile back...long story...and was holding about a half joints worth of smoke. Now I'm on file and they told me next time I try and cross I can expect to be "checked out" as you were.

Lesson learned from first crossing. (DON'T TRY AND CARRY DOPE ACROSS THE BORDER)

BOY I can hardly wait for my next border crossing... :(

Man sometimes this crowd really surprises me.

"Fat Joe, Big Pun, and Notorious B.I.G. were fat kids with brown fleeces and jeans on too. What's your point? Cuz you're white, you can't be a gangster? You had weed ash in the tray, you had a marijuana (which is a controlled substance in case you didn't notice) image on your cell phone. Do you want to quit now or go back to the border for another round with the Mounties? "

"No, that's not profiling - that's "just cause."
Bob Marley t-shirt - that's profiling.
If someone crossing the border had on a shirt that says "I love using explosives to cause death and destruction," I hope the border patrol would check their vehicle."

"Wow, when visiting a foreign country, it's usually best not to break any laws. You deserve what you got."


Do you people actually believe this BS or are you just saying it? Crap you people act like this was a big deal or something. Pot ash? A piece of a broken pipe? A pot leaf on his phone? You guys do know that you could get into more trouble for bringing a couple packs of cigs into the country than these things? Or even a couple oranges? Man, the moral crusaders are out in full force today. Getting hasseled by the border patrol is natural and I have had it happen to me a few times. I have never been striped searched but I have had my car checked and me questioned. From my experience it is always easier getting back in to the US than out.

The last time I crossed the border I had 3 pasted out people in the back seat and was driving another persons car. I get to the border and the dude starts asking me questions which the girl in the passenger seat kept trying to answer for me. This annoyed the guard and I told her to zip it. The guard asks where I am from, I respond "Seattle". He then asked the reason for going to Canada, I respond, "Drinking". He looks me in the eye, smiles then waves me through.

Sometimes I think hanging out with anyone here would be the most boring experience of my life. So many damn Mr. Mackies.

If you hadn't been smoking all this pot, you would figure out the difference. ;)

the issue isn't the pot, it's the fact that he was calling the custom's agents 'fvcking retards' or something to that extent for searching him.

About a month ago my friends and I went to Canada for my friends bday. Since we are all under 21 and we wanted to get wasted. So we drive for two hours and arrive at the border. I give Customs all our Id's (mine, Jenn's(bday girl) and Steve's. They take about 5min putting all of our information into the computer and then give me a yellow ticket and tell me to pull over in a little parking area.

I park and get out of the car and it is then swarmed by customs agents. One of them gets in the front and then comes out saying that I have "The most weed ash" he has ever seen in an ashtray. (There was cigs and cloves and weed ash all together in the ashtray, but somehow he knew on site it was weed ash). We are then led inside where they questioned us. I say questioned but I should say interrogate. The lead customs guy starts yelling at me about how we are smuggling narcotics and asking where it is and then screamed "Who do you think you are dealing with?" at me cause my cell phone has a pot leaf as the background.

So after all of this badgering they still dont beleive that we dont have any actual pot on us. They found a boken mouth peice of a pipe somewhere in my car (honestly hadnt even seen that pipe in over a year) but they couldnt do anything about that.

Here is the fun part, they took all three of us into our own individual rooms where we had to strip and give them all of our clothes for "further inspection." Then i was ordered to lift my sack to prove i wasnt hiding pot under it (someone explain how i could have hidden weed under my sack?). And then I had to bend over and spread the cheeks so they could stare at my brown eye. (personally if they want to stare at my asshole, they can it didnt bother me that much, i wouldnt want to look at it). After all of this they realize none of us are holding anything so they let us go. (After they fvcking rip my wallet and a peice of my ceiling half off).

Just figured I'd rant about it since i think the whole thing was a bunch of Bullsh!t, proving once again that Canada and Canadians are fvcking retarded.


um, the only retard there was you...having the remnents of pot in your ashtray...having a pipe in the trunk and showing off a freakin' leaf on your phone. you're lucky that's all they did



No crap!!

some of you people need to travel to the scary parts of the world. where people do not give a hoot if you're rich, powerful, white, or american. they have the gun and they are the man. Middle Eastern customs/border types are some of the craziest gun-wileding fella's i've ever seen. do yourself a favour and go far away, pass through some truly scary borders, where rights are just the opposites of lefts, and you won't try to be smart with a US/Canadian customs guard...
