drugs on cruises
 
I like this site because people ask questions that are cruise-related but not always specific to just one ship. Such responses can help many people in the future (not just the people who cruise on one particular ship)<BR><BR>Anyway, I was wondering whether any cruise ships allow the soft drugs such as pot? I figure that the ships are not in America, so the American laws do not apply. Plenty of places in the world tolerate pot. So can I smoke some pot on a cruise, or will I have to keep it in my cabin? <BR>

Thanks for the sarcasm Mr. Q. ButI am looking for serious answers. I am not asking about crack or something. Plenty of people smoke pot. It is a legit question.

Just say Aug 29th, 2002 05:55 AM

That was a serious answer.

Think long and hard about it. A group of guys getting back on the ship in Ochos Rios got popped with some mushrooms in April.<BR><BR>Some folks we partied with from Canada brought pot with them, but left it in their cabin. On the last day at sea, they threw their pipe overboard.<BR><BR>In New Orleans, they had dogs sniffing luggage after we got back.<BR><BR>Buy a little dope in Jamaica and smoke it there. I wouldn't take the chance.

Try some good blotter paper. Odorless,colorless, tasteless. Last for hours sometimes days.<BR><BR>Seriously. If you can't last a couple of days without, you have a problem!

oh wow - <BR><BR>Is that also true of people who don't go through a cruise without drinking alcohol?

I can't even believe someone would post this. Leave your bong home dude and maybe you'll remember what happened on the cruise.

What's so unbelievable? Plenty of people get high.<BR><BR>(Personally, I don't really enjoy the stuff anymore, but it's NO BIG DEAL)<BR><BR>The guy's not talking about crack or doing drug-deals aboard.<BR><BR>Light up and lighten up. *grinning*

Bottom line is not whether we enjoy it or not, just how much jail time he will serve if caught.<BR><BR>As I see it the only difference between pot and alcohol is how much time you get.<BR><BR>I used to smoke a lot when I was younger. Now I have responsibilty. I still even back then, wouldn't have run the risk of being busted in a foreign country.<BR><BR>Abstain for a while. That first gurgle will be even sweeter when you get back :o)

Yes Victor, many passengers bring their pot on-board. I have even smelled it on a Celebrity ship.<BR><BR>After the last large drug-bust on the Royal Caribbean Nordic Empress I would not advise bringing any.<BR><BR>Do not take the chance of getting thrown off the ship.<BR><BR>Paul
