Amsterdam, Noord-Holland

ButterflyBubbles asks,

“A silly question: Should I worry about going through the customs on Schiphol being absolutely blazed? I know I probably won't be the only one stoned, I just don't want to miss my flight because of being under influence... Peace.”

No worries, but you might want to write on your hand where you are going in case you forget for any reason. Also bring some snack foods. And some great tunes. Maybe a coffee and a mango smoothie. Some flemmish fries would be good. Pastries too … Waffle … Tea … Chocolate …

Yummmm !!!

Me likey the way you thinks :P

(…mango smoothie… lol)

Thank you!

Well, it isn’t forbidden to fly under the influence, so don’t worry. You shouldn’t take any drugs with you though.

You might want to consider your destination as well.

I know someone, an EU national, who smoked before he got on a flight and was stopped on arrival in the US. They charged him with possession, I believe, not because he was carrying anything but for what was in his bloodstream. Then they packed him up, put him on a plane, and deported him back to Europe, with a 5-year ban preventing him re-entering the US.

Another example: when you come off the train from Amsterdam to Paris, you often walk through a wall of sniffer dogs and there are quite a few on-the-spot inspections.

OOooh – see, that’s what I’m afraid of…. I’m flying to Poland through there, so I don’t think I will get arrested and deported, but… who knows. I should probably be more worried about getting back to US, since I’m going through Amsterdam as well. Thanks a lot for your comment :)

Hehe, although I don’t really believe that story about the guy getting charged for possession (references??), you sure don’t want any trouble with sniffer dogs, so make sure you spend a good while outside after you smoked, or even better: smoke outside.

Some tourists tend to smell like weed from a few meters distance. Be careful not to become one of them ;-).

That was my main concern – the smell… and good mary lingers beautifully for hours… lol

I do hope it will hold me till I land in Warsaw though :D

Thanks for all the tips and info!

Love&Peace.

It’s totally doable! I’ve done it when I had 6 hours. I was silly stoned when I was back at the airport and all was fine and I flew to NY afterwards. No problems! The only thing was that I got really paranoid that I would miss the flight and was checking the time like every 5 minutes… But I’m glad I’ve done it….

Have fun!

Sounds good! (aside from the paranoid part)

Thank you :))))
