 Taking Mushrooms Back via Plane From Amsterdam

A friend is going to Amsterdam next month and wants to bring back a medium sized quantity of dried P. Cyan on the plane with him, say around an ounce. How should he go about this? I told him don't put it in carry-on luggage since they'll randomly search that. I thought that checked baggage would be best, but will they show up on an x-ray or with dogs? If he puts them in a solid box or other container(as opposed to a ziploc) will that be ok through an x-ray? Would keeping it hidden on his person be a bad idea? Will US customs be a problem? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Don't risk it, if you have to have them then grow them here. Its not worth it. Especially since they won't be any more potent then any you could grow here.
Especially coming from Ansterdam, they'll be looking for that shit. They'll be REALLY looking for that shit. And if your a college kid or teenager or anyone who would look like they would like that, then I'm sure they'll check you extra hard.
If you MUST smuggle it, then put it in a condom and swallow it, or shove it up your ass.

I would NOT recommend that at all. Everytime I've flown in from Amsterdam I've undergone some type of baggage search. It simply wouldn't be worth it.

There was an episode of the Mr.Show where two characters were smuggling weed back from Amsterdam. One guy had the weed in ballons shoved up his ass. The other guy had the weed in ballons inside of a shampoo bottle (which was full of shampoo). Don't know if that would work, but it sounds like it could.

I've heard of people grinding them up and putting them in Metamucil bottles before. but like everyone else said come back and get to growing them.

I don't think you should risk importing anything from Amsterdam, but I have done it before. If you do import anything I suggest you use the mail. I sent 4 packages each containing 4oz of weed back from Amsterdam and 3 of the 4 made it back with no problems. The other package was confiscated and a letter was sent to the recipient, but that was all. Just don't be stupid and bring it on a plane.

I agree with z@z, don't risk taking it on the plane just mail it to yourself, it is a much safer option and you don't have to be paranoid the whole trip back. Taking any drugs on a flight is dangerous and since your coming from amsterdam I would expect to be searched. In my opinion it's just not worth the risk.

If I were to do it anyway mentioned here, this seems like the best option to me.

or mail them. lol. take their advise.
seriously. if you get caught with drugs on you coming from another country you will be hit with everything they got. You are now a felon. a dirty drug smuggler. You will be stripped naked, every cavity of your body searched. Then taken to prison where someone will rape you.
If you mail it, you fly without worry, then get it when you get home. If they do find it in the mail, they take it, and might write you a little slip from customs saying you wont be recieving a package due to local laws. the end.

Oh I forgot to mention. The return flight would NOT be from Amsterdam, it's from Paris. (He's going to Amsterdam, then Paris, then back here) That probably would only make it slightly safer anyway. But I didn't know that they searched checked baggage BEFORE it was checked. Considering the first thing you do is check your bags and get ur boarding pass. I suppose it's possible they might search checked bags after you check them, but I thought they x-ray them first looking more for bombs than anything else. On all my other post 9/11 int'l flights, my checked bags were locked shut. The lock was never broken and they didn't say anything about it when I checked them, so they were obviously never searched. But I told him to mail it back anyway. That's probably what he'll do. I'M still curious though about the x-ray thing in general. If anybody can actually answer just that, I'd like to hear what they have to say. Thanks again for the replies.

Also, he does grow shrooms here. The thing is he only has the means to produce a certain amount of shrooms, not pounds and pounds. Plus, he's never had any success with Cyans. So an ounce of Cyans from Amsterdam, at a reasonable price, for personal use is justifiable in his case I believe.

Whenever I'm smuggling through an airport, I use UnderArmour's compression shorts. I wear them when I go running, they're spandex and keep my "situation" in place. Pipe, weed, pills, shrooms... No dogs, no problem.
Anyway, I'd say you could smuggle an ounce with them. Just package it up nicely in plastic bags, and then stuff it into various spots: Crotch, inner thigh, nowhere u could sit on. If you're really cunning, u could pack the stems through a tiny slit on the inside of the waist of ur pants. Then load the compartment w/ baggies of stems, or caps if they are small enough. You'll probably have to destroy the pants afterwards if it was a huge ammount, unless you aren't able to slightly lengthen the cut, and then coax them out.
You could also search for pants and jackets with stash pockets on the internet.

Interesting idea. I assume the spandex keeps the shit flat enough against you to easily pass a frisk, which I've maybe only seen a few times before at an airport, and that was when the wand went off like 20 times first.
I mean, if you pass through the metal detector and your bags are straight, you're good, right? The only problem will be dogs if you reek. I understand why most people suggest not to do this, and I wouldn't really suggest it either I guess, but I fail to really see how you're going to get caught. The fact that it could happen is enough reason to not do it, but how would you actually get pinched? Assuming you aren't retarded, and you're carrying dried mushrooms which most dogs are not trained to smell (even if they are, in my experience the cops only have the dogs smell luggage [I could be wrong]).
Mailing it is probably safer, but the odds of customs nabbing it is SOOO high compared to you getting caught in an airport. But the consequnces are obviously much higher in an airport. If you think it's easy to get caught, please explain how. It would seem that I'm missing something here(?) Is it that you think dogs will catch it? I fail to see what else would be a problem. Or were people referring to checked bags being easily caught?

He thought about grinding them up and stuffing them in the biggest capsules he could find. Then he'd just dip them in liquid candle wax to form a smell-tight seal so he could just put 'em in a ziploc and not worry about dogs on the off chance they CAN smell dried shrooms. I also thought that since he's getting P. Cyans, any shroom smelling dog would be trained on Cubes (maybe?) and reduce chances of them noticing these. Anyway, I'm pretty sure my friend and I are over reacting as always. I'll bet he could just walk though with an ounce in his pocket and be done with it. I like the idea of disguising them, but it has to be something that nobody is gonna look at to begin with. Tea bags aren't a bad idea. Hmmm...
To answer tomk's question, first off, money is not preventing increased production capacity (if it could be expanded, it would be). Second, he's going on the trip as a vaction and the tickets are almost free because he used to be a travel agent and he still gets the discounts for another year or two until his card expires. He was just interested in getting some Cyans while in Amsterdam before going to Paris. Plus, spending money on expanding his production will not necessarily allow him to grow Cyans.

Yes, mailing the shrooms is the best thing to do. I would also suggest drying them 'cause they're sold fresh in the Netherlands. This will reduce the volume allowing you to post more.
After drying, pulverize them in coffeegrinder or something. The only problem could be: how long will you stay in Amsterdam  IOW, I hope you have sufficient time to dry them as thorough as possible

Yeah, see, I figure he'll have to dry them out first. Although, it was odd, I went to the web pages of a few smartshops to check out prices and a couple of them had dried Cyanescens advertised and pictured, which I thought was not allowed. He'll have to go there and find out for himself I guess.
He's only there for three nights, so I figure if he picks up fresh Cyans the first day and puts 'em out to dry by a fan and leaves them be for a few days, they'll be dry enough to take to Paris and then home when he'll put them over a desiccant to 100% dry them for storage. I think Cyans would dry faster than Cubes on account of their small size and weight maybe? I dunno.
But I think he's decided to take them with him on the plane back from Paris. He ordered some empty 'OOO' size gelcaps to put the ground up shrooms in if he can dry them out enough to grind. He also bought a pack of those odor-barrier bags to store the caps in. Apparently they are VERY good. I told him to just put the caps in a ziploc, and double bag the ziploc in the smell-proof bags and then secure that flat around his inner-thigh. I mean, I think that's being way more than cautious. I've flow enough internationally since 9/11 to know that if dogs don't smell anything and you don't go off in the metal detector, you're gravy. Plus, they're very busy profiling every single Arab to come through the gate. I hope he'll be fine.
