Stash your drugs where the sniffer dogs can't smell them.
That's the controversial advice tweeted by Spain's National Police account on Tuesday after it was asked how best to carry four cannabis joints on board a plane to a foreign country.
Cultural magazine JotDown (@JotdownSpain) questioned cops whether drugs were better off being carried in hand luggage or in a checked-in suitcase.
'It's better if you have them rolled up and where the dogs can't detect them (in a cigarette packet?)' replied the official account to its 715,000 followers.
It did add a warning by saying: 'You do risk a report for public consumption.'
The tweet, however, still sparked outrage from anti-drugs campaigners, who suggested police were officially encouraging cannabis smokers to try and smuggle drugs abroad.
It led the police to delete the tweet, and replace it with a more lecturing message.
'To avoid confusion, the possession or consumption of drugs in public places carries an administrative penalty,' it stated.
