You have to consume them in a station to use them in highsec.

Or you consume them, before jumping into High, or you put them into your cargo in high and do not jump trough a gate with custom officers, or...
The only problem are gates with custom officers. And while carrying Boosters is illegal, being drugged is not. |

Also the only empire-space boosters which are legal are the "synth" variants. They will not trigger any negative side effects and are perfectly fine to fly with in your cargo hold. |

True, but its just a watered down soup. Get some real boosters and enjoy the trip. |

I've had some measure of experience with boosters. You can use them any time, anywhere in hi-sec, just like you can in low/null. Keeping them in a central station (be it low or high) is the best plan - with biology @ 5 they can last quite a while.
The main problem you face with boosters in highsec comes from the customs agents who are only usually present on hi-sec gates. Jumping through these gates with boosters in your cargo can land you in trouble. There's much more chance of getting scanned the longer you stay on a gate, so if you're moving boosters about in hi-sec, use a cov-ops frig with a cloak and warp fast. Also only carry a few at a time just incase you do get caught (the fine is something like 5x the regional market cost of the drugs).
If you are scanned a message will pop up informing you that you have suffered a faction standing loss, will be fined and finally gives you the choice to jettison your cargo or be destroyed. The customs officers will also attempt to web/scram you in this time. If you're in a fast ship, make sure to warp as soon as this message appears (it will often appear as you begin to enter warp away from the gate anyway), then tell them to get stuffed - this way you can keep your drugs! If you're already pointed though it's usually best to hand em over.
Hope this info helps, fly high and have fun! |

Just curious about this subject. Concerning moving boosters around in highsec. Anyone know if a Customs Officer is able to scan your cargo if the Boosters are contained in plastic wrap under a courier contract?

You're thinking too hard about this. Cov-ops cloaked fast-align ship and you will never be visible long enough to for the customs agents to catch you. You may get the odd fine (which is far far lower than 5x regional value, it is really almost nothing unless you are carrying a hundred or so), but keep moving and even if they do scan you they still won't be able to stop you.
As for double wrapping, it may work but I've never bothered to try. I heard they fixed being able to move them in orca CHA's though so it wouldn't surprise me if this was fixed as well. |

This has interesting implications. Can you suffer penalties for unknowingly carrying someone else's contraband in a courier package?

Contraband cannot be put in a Courier or Want to Sell contract. It can be put into a want to buy. |

Create an alt on your account , buy a cheap fast frig and transport them , Concord will stop you at times just click no and go !
you can use them in any station .
By the way the synth boosters are legal in highsec , not the standards,improved and strong . |
