I can tell you I know of a couple of guys taking stuff across the border and there is no way to claim it is for personal stuff. It is the same as bringing an eight ball of coke across and saying it is all for you. Shit is very risky.Quote:

$500 sounds a bit expensive for a cycle to me...Quote:

you are right although most feel they will never get caught and might have saved thousands getting themselves over paying a source
I just couldn't see myself running that risk. My friend got off only because he had a savy ass lawyer. There is only so much you could bring across the border at one time and I don't think you could get away going across several times without being noticed. I know the prices are cheap as hell but an online supplier will charge you maybe $50 more a bottle and that just sounds better to me that the sweat one would take walking back with gear on you. Just too risky to take for me.Quote:

Get caught with a small "box" with some weed, VS. several small packaged baggies...Im sure it wouldnt be far from the same principle..not sure...good question!
thanks guys~~
I got caught with 25 vials of assorted shit. It was a lot of stuff and they didn't even charge for it. However, they did charge me with importation and intent to distribute two other non-AS substances. They didn't even care about the AS.

I know a guy that got caught with $2500 worth (mexi prices). They impounded his car and kept him for about 7 hrs. He paid $500 to get the car back and they let him go...
as long as it is your first offense, you are in pretty good shape, just don't mix coke and AS
