Caught today at US/CA boarder with 31 grams of pot.

Yes, I know, I should not have carried that weight across fucking customs. It was not intentional.
That being said, heres the jist of what went down.

I was traveling from Seattle to Sqamish BC to camp for the night and climb the Chief.

The agent at the passport check was suspicious of my story, and since I'm under 21 and drive a pretty nice care, I was told to go to the second checkpoint.

I admitted I had weed, because they would have found it in ten seconds. Was handcuffed and told I was being arrested for trafficking narcotics. Sat in a cell for about 4 hours. They went through my phone and saw pictures of drugs. L, K, MDMA, few Kpacks Xanax, and Quantiks Etizolam presses. It was a very good HD picture of all sides of the pill. They questioned me for a good while about those ETIZ pills, and mentioned they have been showing up recently but are not marked on any medication ID data base.

They also mentioned the Xanax sled dude bust from last week. I told them the pictures were taken off the internet. They also asked something that threw me, "Are these the Quantik brand bars? Do you or any of your friends use the Darknet?I asked what a Qwandic and Darknet was, that seemed to convince the two that I was clueless of any sort of operation. There was NO evidence on my phone of DNM related activity. NONE

I was released back to the US about 6 hours ago. No charges at all, just a $400 seizure charge. Also note, I am a medical patient in my state, so I bought the most fire zip on my way home to celebrate my luck.

Any suggestions on what precautions I should take from here on out? I'm kind of sketched about my phone, really doubt its being bugged or anything.

You got caught with 31 grams of weed and they didn't press any charges? I mean I'm glad you got off with a $400 fine but wtf?

How bout stop taking pictures of illegal drugs on your phone. That's rookie shit.

Your phone is fine, it's not bugged. But do keep in mind that there's a way higher chance that you'll be referred to secondary inspection whenever you cross into Canada again. Pay the fine and you're good :)

Don't keep drug pics on your phone. Don't keep weed out in the open when crossing borders.... Don't say "yeah, i have weed." when crossing a boarder.... People say i'm dumb....
