Free marijuana from customs officers in the Tokyo airport
So a lucky person traveling to Tokyo, Japan ended up with a nice little gift in their suitcase after passing through customs. That nice surprise was over 140 grams of marijuana, for free, from the Japanese Government. Why would they do such a thing? By mistake, of course.
A Japanese customs officer wanted to test the true ability of their drug-sniffing dogs, so he put a bag filled with 142 grams of marijuana in a random suitcase. As the bags passed through customs, the dogs failed to detect the giant bag of marijuana. That’s when panic set it, because at that point the customs officer was unable to remember which suitcase he put the bag of marijuana in! Sounds like somebody tried the marijuana performing this customs test.
Normally these tests are performed with a special suitcase that customs officers can find if the dogs fail. This officer became overconfident in the dog’s abilities, and decided to use a real, random suitcase. Officials are asking to contact customs if you happen to find this huge bag of pot.
“I knew that using passenger’s bags is prohibited, but I did it because I wanted to improve the sniffer dog’s ability”. Japan has strict laws against drugs and possession of small amounts of cannabis can lead to a prison sentence.
My question is, what would they have done if the dogs did find the drugs? I mean if I was pulled out of line and questioned for having 140 grams of pot, I would be furious. But in a foreign country you play by their rules, and I think it is possible they could have used this test as an actual “drug bust” and somebody’s life could be ruined.
