Mailing hash across the atlantic

just remember that the Man Who arguement is almost always faulty and can not be trusted.

just because there was a Man Who happened to do this and get through customs doesnt mean it works. it could mean they never encountered dogs, it could mean it was a fluke, it could mean the dogs weren't very good, it could mean any number of things. i still dont believe this would be fully effective, even though it MAY WELL help a lot.

the Man Who argument, if you haven't heard of it, is an argument people (everyone!) tend to make to rationalize doing something likely to end badly. people who smoke cigarettes, when faced with facts about how damaging tobacco is, may make use the argument "i knew this one guy that smoked three and a half packs a day and lived to be 83 with no problems at all..." but just because such a story could be true doesnt mean it always, or even usually, will be, and it may well be an incredibly insignificant event statistically speaking. another example of the Man Who argument is "i don't wear seatbelts because my friends got in a car accident and were thrown through the windshiled 40 feet and survived. they were torn up, but had they buckled up they would have been crushed inside the car" these things happen in real life, truly enough, but statistically it is FAR smarter to wear a seatbelt than not, because they are proven to save more lives than they occasionally take.

so what i'm trying to say is that your idea SOUNDS reasonable, and it MAY in SOME instances help a lot, but it does NOT garauntee ANYTHING, and drug dogs are TRAINED to baffle such attempts as these. its just playing with fire - if you want to take the chance, fine, but don't EXPECT it to work. the downfall of most smugglers is their arrogance and sense of untouchability. just because there was a Man Who got through customs with vaseline smeared baggies of pot doesnt mean that it is statistically significant enough to claim that this works. i've also known people to take completely unmasked drugs on international flights and not get in trouble. does that mean this is a good idea, or that pockets will baffle drug dogs? no, it just means she didnt get caught.

i think your idea is a decent one as far as easy things you can do to HELP eliminate smell, but i would never try it and never expect it to be effective. too risky! besides, like i said, if it were that easy to cheaply and effectively hide smells, no one would ever be caught by drug dogs....

it just doesnt all add up.

 

I still think it would be the best way to go if someone decides to try "mailing hash across the atlantic". But you're right, transporting drugs across international borders is generally not a smart thing to do.

 

Its really not a great idea, but think about this. WHat time of year it is, and how many packages are going how many different places in the world on a daily basis. Afew grams of hash, fuck, even if customs did find it, you would probably only get a letter in the mail, and that would be the end of it. Ive seen afew of those letters my freinds got for trying to send weed through customs. I wouldnt rely on that or anything, but its not like you would have the feds on your ass. now 10 pounds, thats a different story. Its definately a good idea to use a previous owners adress, they cant prove it was you, and if its not enough of an amount to care about the dealer, nothing will come of it.

 

a friend of mine had some hash sent from a country in the european union to the place where he works. since he was tight with the manager, it was cool to have it sent there, since the manager was the one who was receiving the mail.
there was a fake return address used (made-up) and then it was addressed solely to the business´ name (not a person´s name). 3 out of four packages made it through.

the packages consisted of a reg. bubble-wrap padded envelope with a CD inside. then, behind the CD was pressed hash wrapped in plastic. that´s it.
