There's lots of threads on this particular subforum where you have sympathy for the OP. This isn't one of them !

I was thinking more along the lines of presenting oneself at customs while appearing to be under the influence.. There is no way short of what you stated of seeing use from a few weeks ago..

"keep doing coke if that's your personal choice"

We're encouraging the use of narcotics on here? You might want to do some research on how serious drugs like cocaine can rip entire families apart. Doing anything to suggest to people that something like this is socially ok is completely irresponsible. I'm rather surprised that this is permitted on a website like this.

I'm not encouraging it, but not condemning it either.

I think that choosing to put a substance into your body is among the most personal of choices you can make, and it's none of the government's business - but that's a topic for OMNI, and I'll happily discuss it with you there.

In any case, the OP is a newbie first-time poster, and is unlikely to change his drug habits based on a lecture from a stranger on this board.

Canadians have a right to silence.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section...ght_to_silence

If you admitted to using cocaine in Canada, you put yourself at risk.

Even if there was no right to silence, since the question: "have you ever used drugs" is pretty vague, I would have refused to answer it. It is because LEOs deliberately ask such vague questions, designed to put suspects in deeper trouble, that lawyers advise one to shut up.

Lying to a customs and/or immigration official is just going to dig your hole deeper. Just refuse to answer the question.

In fact, given that FT moderators have admitted that everything we post is logged, I've edited my post to remove reference to OP's FT handle. OP is taking a risk that FT won't be give up his identity or information (in response to a court order for example) that could lead to his identity.

Indeed, I suggest OP ask FT to delete this thread.

"Have you ever used drugs?" Does Viagra count? How about Lipitor? Practically everything counts.
Have you ever used illegal drugs?
When I was a kid my dad told me to never utter one word more than necessary to "those people". He was right. I've been lucky.

Give the confessed one a body cavity search next trip
 

maybe op was a mule bring a load of that vancouver bc stuff to nyc
and why there was reisdue in his luggage that the drug-doggies sniffed . . .

or taking nyc street stuff home . . . wonder if his shoe-heels have false
bottoms and if the lame canadian customs idiots bothered to check?

or just like the movies he had the stuff strapped onto his chest...

at any rate, if he had said what he told the canadian cbp people to
their american counterparts, they probably would have given OP a
complete body-cavity search

i hope OP gets a complete body casvity search next time he crosses into the usa and another one on the way home to canada (if they allow him to enter the us again at all) :D

Your idea of "probably" is better characterized as wishful thinking on your part:

More like "probably not" = it wouldn't happen in at least 50+% of circumstances.
