Florida is pretty tight and the risk vs reward is pretty high. $100 is not bad if you get some high grade. MMJ all started in California 20 years ago and you are still looking at $80-100 1/4 these days for solid organic tested bud. Of course you can go cheaper, but who knows what mold is on it as well as what chemicals were used.
I look forward to legalization and tight controls just to protect the end user.
Glad I'm in Michigan. I could never bring myself to pay those prices. And I'm picky.
Why wait until vacation to blaze up Mon!!!
Funny story (kinda)I knew a guy who kept a brass 1 hitter in a somewhat secret compartment in his shaving kit, now this "guy" forgot that used brass 1 hitter was in there! That shaving kit probably traveled back and forth the jamaica 5 or 6 times,! This "guy" saw several dogs on his return to the states but passed through with " no problem mon"'the brass 1 hitter will not be doing any more traveling,so I've heard,yuk yuk
That reminds me of time I had to fly for business, which I don't like doing because I can't can't "carry" and don't like to deal with strangers on the street. So I went a week without....no biggie. Come home and Beth Ann did my laundry and there was bud all over all of the clothes. Turns out I flew with about a 1/4 oz I didn't know about in the suite case laundry bag from our last road trip....oooops!
I can't wait for the day when I can declare MJ from the island just as I do the white rum today.

I saw two Dutch couples slammed against the jetway wall in Atlanta after the dogs alerted. It seems that they had been camping in Jamaica and had not laundered their clothing. The dogs did alert to the smoke residue. Many might not know that after the passengers are all off the aircraft, he dogs are brought on to sniff the seats. Some people hide their stash in their crotch. The ganja smell gets on the seat which alerts the dogs. The customs officers check the passenger seating chart and intercept the suspects before they reach immigration. If you are carrying, perhaps you might want to switch seats with a stranger! Now we know why there is such a long walk to the immigration area. I was personally involved in both of these incidents. What you buy in Jamaica, stays in Jamaica!
Never seen dogs going thru the cabins on a regular basis. More often in the holds and baggage carts after unloading. The quantities that they are concerned about wouldn't fit down your pants. Individual amateur smugglers are usually found out by customs agents interview and facial tell tales. Interesting that some of the dogs used are looking for agricultural products of another kind that could affect American farming. Don't try to hide a sausage fruit or cheeses. Some dogs are trained to smell currency. Most dogs when sensing their particular product will simply sit beside you. He ain't being friendly.
Last time I had a dog alert it was an a bag of patties in my carry on.
I had declared them on the form.
The officer thanked me for my honesty.
