Waaait if I am a US resident and go accross a state line im not allowed to buy a 30 pack of beer? Crossing a country border doesn't even prevent that.
That's what I'm saying, nobody does that because it would be insane. But an Iowa resident coming to Illinois can only get 15 grams of weed at a licensed adult use dispensary. Opposed to an Illinois resident who can get 30.
Really depends on what countries you're talking about.
At the very least, you're likely to need to pay taxes on the goods, which is part of what the state laws are about. Confederacies like the EU maybe excepted.
Sure if I take it back over the border. The scenario I had in my mind was going to see friends or taking it back to a hotel room.
I've lost track of what concern you had and in what scenario and why it was bad compared to what, but ok.
