Title: Airport Customs and Drugs concealing
Post by: chil on September 21, 2011, 09:03 am
Hey all,

I'm going to visit some african country for a year or so and I was willing to take some powdered shrooms with me.

I was thinking of capping them and putting those caps in some nutritional supplement container.

What do you think ? Would this be the best way ? Please note that i don't have any sophisticated plastifying machine or professional sealer.

i'm sure you'll find some infos that apply to you as well:

I don't know why you would want to bring muschrooms to africa but hey, that's not me to judge :)

I'm assuming you are flying there?
Don't bother with complicated stuff when you are going "in", you will have virtually zero checks for drugs. What they are more interested in is usually big amounts of money you might be carrying (in excess of what their funky laws allows you).

Another thing to keep is mind is the unbelievable corruption in most aspect of the economy. That means you might encounter police/customs that seem to keep you waiting for no reasons, with the occasionnal upsidedown passport (not at the airport but otherwise i'm dead serious)... Either you tip them off @ that point, either you wait, either you tell them to go to hell... If you have big balls, you can yell at them too.

If you are wondering how to do a "common" bribing in Africa for us foreigners, an easy trick is to carry some dollar notes inside your passport.

Once you get there, stick with your national friends from the embassy, they will tell you *everything*  from their direct experiences on how to rock & roll without problems :)

You'r very welcome :) I emphasize making friends within your expat community, i'm sure you'll be surprised on how more open minded expats usually are compared to people at home!

I like feeling special, and in Africa the whiter you are, the more special you are too :P So quite a bit, pre and post 9/11.
