Sure, but that doesn’t mean the person is going to be an asshole at the other point of entry.

I flew into NYC one time with a joint. They always target me because of how I look, so I got all my shit searched. Dude found half a joint (yeah I fucked up). He looked at me and then put it back and continued the search, pretending be didn’t find it.

People in NYC are nice people. Their city doesn’t care about weed. His employer (CBP) did, but he made a decision not to fuck up my life over a stupid small thing.

I’ve also crossed borders in Israel when doing human rights work. Its easier to go by land than by air. The environment at different ports of entry is just different than others.
