My adventure through Canadian Customs

[Glitchny]

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).


EDIT: For those of you that are instantly against me on this whole thing ill put in the disclaimer that I am not upset about this series of events, I found it funny cause it only took about 30min outta my trip i was just sharing the experience.

EDIT2: I was also stopped at the border coming into the US 2 summers ago and go caught with an 8th, so thats why i think they pulled me over after running my lisence.

oh man. hahahahaha.

sorry, i couldn't help it. sucks you had to go through that. i doubt there's anything you can really do now. at the time, i think you could have asked for an embassy representative.

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

Agreed

i got the same treatment for trying to bring sunflowers over the boarder

 

[flamingelephant]

Guess what? IF you had been coming from canada to the US and they saw weed ash in your ashtray, the following would of happened:

-your car would of been completely taken apart
-all your stuff would of gotten searched and trashed
-people looking at your brown eye would be the least of your concerns, because they likely would search your brown eye just like they had your car!!


Canadian customs is nothing on drugs compared to US customs

 

[Drakkon]

yeah u got off easy. Be glad u werent going into mexico and got caught like that...u wouldn't of seen the car, your phone, your dignity, or much else besides a nasty prison cell

 

[sygyzy]

You pose as a gangster, you get treated as one. It's like those thugs that complain that cops pull them over. Well, what did you expect to happen?

 

[MercenaryForHire]

You had the leftovers of cannabis and they found a pipe fragment crossing the border, and you call them retarded for searching you? Good job there.

umm explain to me how u can tell the difference between cig ash and weed ash? cause i would like to know. The pipe fragment i understand i wasnt mad about that, i just didnt have any clue as to where it came from.

Think you guys are misunderstanding me. I am not all that mad about this at all, i thought the whole thing was rather funny while it was happening. The only thing im pissed about is them ripping the sh!t outta my wallet (for which there is no reason) and ripping down part of my ceiling (also uncalled for) that I had fixed a week earlier.

Umm i can show off whatever I want, I can wear a damn shirt saying "I smoke pot" still gives them no reason to search me over you, thats profiling. Its like pulling over an arab just cause ur looking for terrorists, not right.

Nobody has explained ot me what makes weed ash dfferent than cig ash, please explain? I wonder if i had just had cigs etc in the ashtray they would have said the same thing, cause I certainly cant figure out the difference

And i was never saying what they did was wrong or horrible or ilegal or anything like that. I know that I got off pretty easily, was just sharing how much of a hassle it was just to get over the border. No need to get all anti-me for explaining a situation.

The only thing that would make this funnier is if they had found some leaf remnants scattered around on the floor and tossed his ass in the clinker with Bubba of the North Country for a few days.

 

[MercenaryForHire]

Wow, talk about teen angst. You got screwed over for the following reason:

Customs agents are the most finely tuned bullshit detectors known to man.

You flinched, you got antsy while he was punching up your information, you said something dumb while in line that got picked up on the boom mike, or you got the Lucky Draw for "Random Search" and your uppity attitude sealed the deal.

Oh I'm pretty sure why i got pulled over in the first place and I know they are bullshit doctors, twice during the whole experience they tried to get me to say i was high so they could get me with impaired driving.

I'm pretty sure that the reason they pulled me over is cause about 2 years ago i got caught with bout an 8th coming across form canada into the US. <- This is the reason I wasnt mad, I had done the whole thing before, I am not pissed about it, i mean at the time i was annoyed but I knew I didnt have anything, I am just sharing my story, hence the removal of the anti-canadaian stament in the OP.

ok, so you were going to get wasted and then, i assume, drive home? nice.

btw, my own tale of woe - ~20 years old. went on a canadian oddessy with a friend to celebrate graduating from college. goal was to see how far north we could get. anyway, i brought along a little weed. i think we smoked it once - neither one of us were big pot heads, we just enjoyed getting high every once in a while.

anyway, after a week of car camping and no shaving, etc, we get back to the us-canadian border and hit us customs. it was a nowhere border crossing, somewhere along the minnesota border - very small time on a little two-lane road. i think i was wearing a bandana - looked like a smart-ass rebel. so they start checking the car and, whoops, find a bud in the ashtray from a dillon concert i'd been to a year before! naturally they proceed to search everything in the car and find my stash in a box of fruit loops. damn! now, the stash is pretty small (probably less than an ounce) and i think they've figured out that we're just some stupid suburbian kids, not major trafficers or anything, so they tell us we can go if we just pay a fine - something like $50. and they keep the stash. we don't have enough cash tho so they send my buddy (it's my car so the whole deal is on me) down the road to get some. as he is leaving they point out that he technically doesn't have to come back - in which case i'll go to jail. very funny ha ha. eventually my buddy comes back with the cash, we pay the fine (and actually did get a receipt), and go on our merry way.

for a while i really worried that this would go on some record somewhere and it'd kill my teaching career (i killed that on my own after two years in favor of a career that pays a living wage), but it was never a problem. to this day i wonder if that guy pocketed the $50 and the weed and had himself a good laugh that night.

later,

joe

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