The down votes are because only a moron would take an illegal item into an authoritarian state. The downvotes have nothing to do with the actual item but it’s illegality in an authoritarian state.
True, pragmatism trumps idealism. I’m just so tired of having to be pragmatic in a world where the worst of us (politicians and corporations) get to follow their ideals.

There is a difference between “this law is stupid, we should get rid of it” and “this law is stupid. Therefore, I will just ignore this”
Would I be happy if I could travel to other countries with a few spliffs in my purse? Absolutely!
But I still check every single pocket thrice before I leave the country.
