Title: German customs
Post by: 34tuforlunch on June 22, 2012, 12:12 pm
So a friend of mine got a letter from the German customs saying he would have to show up to pick up an international package. It was a small bubble envelope containing less than 10 grams of weed. Would it be a good idea for him to just go and pick it up? it was not a very large amount and I think if customs actually found it they would just send a love letter.
Any info regarding what to do in this situation would be helpful.

I'd contact them and not acknowledge ownership.
It's probably best to say nothing at all or get a lawyer.

No its not a good idea. Sounds like one of those sting operations the police do sometimes where they send letters to people who have warrants notifying them that they won a free dvd player or a trip to the bahamas. They when they show up theres a room full of cops waiting to arrest them.

Its 10 grams of weed, forget about it and move on.

From the research I have done it looks like they would not have such operations for such a small amount and even if they had  a reason to arrest the person they would be able to do it at their house would they not?

I honestly dont know anything about german customs, but the situation sounds sketchy to me and my spider sense is tingling so i would avoid the situation.

Thats just me though.... good luck to your friend on whatever path he decides.

Just ask a professional: http://www.gruene-hilfe.de/
I don't think they charge anything for a simple question.
