Jesus broke the law. So did George Washington. You did, too, and we want to hear about it.

Return from Amsterdam

Up +366 Down

I was going through customs in Detroit by myself, after returning from a European adventure with some friends. Being that I was young college kid traveling alone, and had just flown in from Amsterdam I knew I was likely to get stopped, and then searched. As soon as I step up to the counter there were two large customs agents waiting to escort me away. Once we get in a glass holding area with a big metal table they start asking me all types of questions. Mainly, did I smoke weed in Amsterdam and did I bring any back. I told them that i did in fact smoke(why else go), but did not bring any back. They didn't believe me, especially when I opened my bag and had everything in vacuum compressed bags. They offered to go talk to their supervisor and get my fine taken down from 5Gs to $500, but only if I confessed before they had to go through my stuff. I refused because i had nothing, and was forced to dump out all of my clothes, bag by bag. While doing this it comes out that I was going to a very prestigious college and after would be getting my law degree. One of the agents looks at me with a snide look on his face, and says "if you're going to be a lawyer then you should know it's illegal and should not be smoking it!" I replied, "in America maybe, in Amsterdam it is legal". The other agent looks at me funny, then looks at the first agent and says "Yeah dumbass that is why he is going to be a lawyer and you're not." With that remark the first agent looked at me ashamed, said sorry and walked away with his head down. Once he walked away, the other agent glanced over at my pile of clothes on the table and without ever touching it or searching it told me I was free to go.
