Certain places you'd have a lot higher success then others, but overall I think it's a really bad idea in the usa.

Agreed. I wouldn't think of doing it in any first world country. But I did it when I was busted in Thailand. The cop basically told me I could either give him $2,000 USD or spend a couple of months in a Thai prison. It was probably the single easiest decision of my life.

Uh, trip report?

Nothing too crazy really. Got busted with a big bag of weed during a spot check in Northern Thailand. Cops just stopped our driver on the highway (we were coming back from a trek near Chiang Mai) and had us all empty our bags and pockets. There was no sense in even trying to hide it. The main cop simply suggested that I could avoid prison if I gave them the equivalent of $2K. I didn't have that much cash on me, so he generously offered to drive me to the local Western Union-type place to wait for a wire transfer. From what I learned later - it was a damn good thing I didn't have opium (or something stronger) on me. They are very serious about that. I had purchased around a half-ounce for less than $5. So what began as the cheapest weed I ever bought ended up being the most expensive.
