I have to fly home for the holidays, but I fucking hate flying. Should I smoke some weed before to make the miserable journey worth it? Will they do a test during the security check to see if I'm high? I know carrying weed is illegal but what if it's inside my bloodstream already? Can they arrest me? I don't want to go to jail. Can I get some gummies at least past security to have on the plane?

    they have drug sniffing dogs for your blood now and they'll rip you to shreds if they detect even a faint scent of weed aroma

            they're running paramilitary weed sniffing units now. in addition to weed, these machines are trained to attack at the sight of a single rasta hat, with or without the dreads sewn in. it's getting dangerous out there and not a lot of it makes sense

              My freshman roommate had a Bob Marley tapestry hanging over his bed and I've been on the run ever since.

    My guy, how high were you planning on getting? If you can still form sentences you'll be fine.

      Lol, not that high, just a little buzz to make the trip pleasant. I might just go with gummies, though, seeing the reception in this post.

    Allegedly, no one ever checks carts or edibles, but I'm naturally paranoid and moreso when weed is involved. I'll usually bring a gummy to the airport and eat it right before I get in the security line. No one's going to give you a sobriety check. People get drunk in airports all the time, and it's only a problem when you make it someone else's problem.

    Yes they will do a test during the security check. TSA takes forever because everyone has to piss in a cup and wait for the results to come back in. If you fail the test you get taken by the Piss Cops to jail.

    they don't care what you've ingested as long as you don't smell funny or fail to comply with instructions during security checks. if you have weed pills, you can put them in prescription bottles and they usually won't care or ask but i don't know about more explicit stuff like vapes

        make sure you're doing it in the US lol. can't say what will happen in other countries, but I imagine the US will be less willing to trade another arms dealer for a random citizen

      So I actually tested this. I'm a space case and I accidentally took a D8 vape with Mr through TSA, court security and hospital security. I placed it in the electronics tray at each checkpoint since I had my receipt to prove it was a legal product in accordance with the 2018 Farm Bill. Nobody has said ever said anything!

      I think the vape thing has become unenforceable. If a pig wants to fuck with you then they will certainly use your vape as an excuse, but the TSA guys don't have time to inspect the thousands of vapes they see every day.

    i know people who take an edible before every flight. personally i wouldn't be able to handle it, but it's definitely an option.

    at no point are they going to test you, and i don't think intoxication is even a crime by itself, just possession. I wouldn't try to take anything through security, but if you do it's very unlikely that they'll even care.

    its a good idea if weed chills you and doesnt make you anxious.

    also gummies and vape carts are the easiest things to travel with. weed is too stinky for me to risk it, plus i can vape in the bathroom stall.

    TSA doesn't take away weed in your carry on luggage. you can bring gummies, vape carts, whatever you want.

        I was pretty sure, and just did a small google search to confirm, that you're not breaking the law until you're a nuisance and if you're obviously intoxicated they can hit you with a 1-2 of disturbing the peace + public intoxication if they're feeling vindictive. Otherwise it'd be such a nightmare to enforce even for a fascist state like Am*rica.
