      I think federal law would apply as airport is federal jurisdiction

        I don’t think it would be that serious if you got caught. But you’re flying to the country next door to the Netherlands. Just make a detour to Amsterdam and pick up what you need.

    Honestly, it’s probably not worth it. If you absolutely need to get high at your destination, I’d bring gummies and put them in a candy container or something innocuous. In general, it’s still not worth it. If you ask around, you can probably find it at your destination unless you’re going somewhere like Singapore or Russia.

      Some of the edibles they manufacture nowadays are just, y’know, pills. I travel with seventeen (no I’m not exaggerating I’m just made of spare parts) other prescriptions and I’ve never once been questioned over a single one in one forgotten how old I am years of flying.

        Oh yeah pill form sounds like a pretty good idea. I’ve never heard of anyone having their prescriptions checked and verified.

    The idea of international travel with weed scares the hell outta me.

    What happens if you get caught depends on the country, really! But you’re likely to be in the shit since it’s international.

    This is all just my opinion. I’m not a lawyer.

    Like, so many people travel with drugs - most successfully. I’ve known many folks who claim to have taken their vapes or shit internationally and been fine.

    It’s not like the authorities can catch everyone who has a cartridge or a few edibles or whatever. But what about the people that do get caught? Maybe most get a slap on the wrist, but I’d be super nervous to become someone who is made an example of.

    I’m sure most countries you may get caught in can toss hefty international drug trafficking charges at ya if they wanted and, while it’s not likey to stick…you’re still getting charged internationally and that’ll complicate things for as long as that whole process takes. Lawyers, courts, possible jail time…not worth it, to me. And shit, if it does stick? Big yikes. And that’s gonna fuck everything up later if you ever wanna travel internationally again, what with a record and all. Not to mention the monetary expenses.

    I know I sound like a Nervous Pervis but I’d definitely advise big-time caution with international travel and weed. I’m even scared to drive through all the states of my home country (looking at you, Idaho USA) because of the whacky shit cops can do to fuck up your life over some edibles.

    I have heard of folks relying solely on edibles that look like other things. Mints come to mind. Anything that looks and smells like Altoids might as well be Altoids, right?

    Anyhoo, flying domestically is another story. I live in a legal state, so it seems like it’d be fine to bring a few packs of edibles and a vape on domestic flights, lol. Figure if one gets caught in security going out, they make ya toss it. Flying back home out of an illegal state though, I’d make sure any weed is good and gone before security, as I hear they defer to local law enforcement and that could be bad.

    Good luck to you on your travels!

      I wouldn’t say this is paranoid at all. I would never take weed on international flights. Also, being from Oregon, fuck Idaho. Why does the Salmon river have to be so surrounded by crazy fucks that want to take away rights from women and prosecute non violent folks. Asshole state with very pretty country in it.

    Yeah, I would not fly internationally with any sort of cannabis products. There are a lot of countries with incredibly strict drug laws, and I don’t want to end up in a Turkish prison.
