eh it’s legal medically in some form in the entire northeast. although who knows what the uptick in highway ice activity means

strike “medically” from that sentence

vape oil pens and edibles travel quite discreetly

although the shop openings are delayed

i fly back from California with is pretty regularly and no one seems to bat an eye to be honest

Crossing state lines with that shit could get you in deep skank doo doo

carne, I'm going to San Francisco in November and have been giving this some thought. Any tips on discrete travel?

package it with aromatic toiletries to minimize the smell. wrap it in clothes. tsa is actually not authorized to check for weed although with jeff “lock up anyone darker than me” sessions in illegitimate power who knows

also edibles don’t really smell strong depending on what you get! the weediest smelling thing i bought at uncle ike’s a few months back was the bag of peanut butter cups. i just stuck
the bag in my laundry

God is Uncle Ike’s a big tourist draw now??

Better to carry on or put in checked bag?

like others said the most discreet is vape pens and edibles, When i travel for work i take a vape pen in my carry on all the time even internationaly. When i'm coming back from CA and im bring a lot of stuff to stock up on i will put it in my check bag .

i feel like the TSA doesn't give two shits about it. they have looked at my vape pen more than once and just shrugged it off.

Cool, I'm trying to get caught up on all the new tech. I'm pretty much a weed luddite.

I went to meet my wife at the airport a couple of months ago and she asked me to bring an edible for her since she'd've been stuck on a plane for hours and then have to get a train home from the airport. I was a bit nervous about it but brought it anyway then got to almost void my bowels when I had to go past 2 sets of sniffer dogs to get to the arrivals area. The second dog actually came right up to me and sniffed my leg but didn't bark. I assume they were probably bomb dogs not drug dogs but still. I won't be doing that again.

A few weeks ago I was sitting by myself on a train, at a table of four, when three other people came and sat down in the empty seats around me. One of the guys took off his coat - he was a policeman, in full uniform. In my bag I had a nice portion of VERY stinky skunk - thankfully, encased in one of these smelly bags. So the pigs were cool.

I've used those smelly proof bags before, pretty good. My current dealer just uses jiffy bags made for coffee beans and they work great.

there's a great (possibly apocryphal) story about this little convenience store in some tiny Northern California town that had the Ziploc corporate people come visit them because they were the nation's leading sellers of "turkey bags" - normally used for baking turkeys in ovens but also good for smell. "What's your secret?" the Ziploc people asked. Pretty sure they got some mumbled half-hearted "not sure" as a response.

I asked about edibles that looked like pills before and the person at the store said “oh planning on flying somewhere eh?”. They were unlabeled gel caps I stashed them with my vitamins and it was totally stealthy.

This backfired in Colorado when I bought pill looking ones that sadly had THC stamped into them

one of the few 21st century inventions that if you showed it to high school/college me it'd blow my mind.
Assume TSA doesn't care about them cause it's clearly personal use only and a small amount at that.

Some airlines forbid checking lithium-ion batteries into luggage, and as an example, I've seen signs at BOS to alert passengers.

Ergo, the thing to do if you check luggage is to put your vape cartridge into your checked bag and carry the igniter portion of the vape right through security. Thanks to e-cigs, those are totally legal and ubiquitous.

I've never done it, but I have tons of friends who have zero fears whatsoever about carrying hash oil onto planes.

yeah don't put l-ion batteries in your checked luggage

or i don't even take my battery if i'm flying somewhere i know i can pick one up for $15 at .

for sure

Teenage GD, is basically me right now. I've never vaped anything.

Same

Col Poo - I'm guessing your edibles are home-made brownies or cookies, not lozenges or mints or gummies that a) don't smell and b) come individually sealed in plastic anyway. It's really no big deal to fly within or out of the States with a bunch of weed in the 2010s.

nah was fudge, not sealed, and not in the US

my sis walked right past a TSA dog with a bag of gummies in her purse and nothing happened (not sure what the deal is with those dogs, if they're only trained on explosives or some drugs but not weed or whatever)

I think TSA is only concerned about weapons and shit. if they happen to come across some weed they sometimes ignore it or else call the local authorities but it's not their thing , most i assume are on drugs themselves.

lol yeah nbd they will just call the local authorities

cops are famously chill about trafficking drugs across state lines

idk it depends where you are at i only say this becasue my friend got his shit taken and just a scolding from the cops trying to fly out of LA and this was before rec was lagal , He had his med card .

xp except bringing personal use edibles or vape pen is not "trafficking drugs"

Man at Reagan airport, I got questioned for 30 minutes, had to strip down most of my clothing because one dude was certain I had weed on me, I have never even used weed in my life, I wouldn't risk it at all.

Im by no means saying it's a free pass but i travel a fair amount and pretty much always carry. the first few times i was definitly sketched but i for reals don't even think much about it anymore. obv vape and edibles is easier then flowers

smoke weed everyday

otm

gonna smoke for brad right now iirc

pls do, i'm at work where you're still not allowed to smoke weed (in this economy???)

smoked it for you my main man

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., today released the D.A.’s Office’s new policy to decline to prosecute marijuana possession and smoking cases, effective tomorrow, August 1. The policy, which is included below, is expected to reduce Manhattan marijuana prosecutions from approximately 5,000 per year to fewer than 200 per year, a 96% reduction.

“Every day I ask our prosecutors to keep Manhattan safe and make our justice system more equal and fair,” said District Attorney Vance. “The needless criminalization of pot smoking frustrates this core mission, so we are removing ourselves from the equation. Our research has found virtually no public safety rationale for the ongoing arrest and prosecution of marijuana smoking, and no moral justification for the intolerable racial disparities that underlie enforcement. Tomorrow, our Office will exit a system wherein smoking a joint can ruin your job, your college application, or your immigration status, but our advocacy will continue. I urge New York lawmakers to legalize and regulate marijuana once and for all.”

The D.A.’s new “decline to prosecute” policy was distributed last week to Manhattan Assistant D.A.s, as well as to the New York City Police Department, Office of Court Administration, and public defense organizations.
