Actually carrying weed is too dangerous, IMO.

I wouldn't try anything. I flew out of SeaTac in November and there were police dogs checking baggage as we waited to check our bags.

Good to know GP, thanks for the info!

it's illegal to transport MJ interstate. I heard Colorado has amnesty boxes at the gates, but I didn't see any at SeaTac.

yes, most of the canines are sniffing for explosives, but there are a couple that are dedicated to drugs. They're mostly in the area of inbound international arrivals from South and Central America, but when they're not busy they wander up to the main terminals.

But I don't think the ones working TSA on domestic routes are looking for weed or anything 'druggy.' You don't want to overwork them--their noses burn out. They wouldn't have them wandering around an outgoing domestic flight sniffing and snuffling just for fun.

Besides, if the dog found a small amount of pot, it would not be a "federal" issue. They'd have to get the local cops--way more trouble than it is worth. There's jurisdictional issues. And in a place where weed is legal, what local cop is going to effect an arrest?

If they're working an international terminal, ARRIVALS, particularly...yeah, sure, I'd call those canines drug dogs. They're looking for cocaine and heroin.


They're not working domestic flights, though, unless they get a tip that someone is moving a lot of product along a particular route and they want to nab that person on a trafficking charge.

during down times, they wander up to the main terminal. I personally think it's more for good PR...the kids love the dogs. And I think the handlers have fun interacting with the passengers......kind of relaxing for them.

And if they aren't working, they aren't going to sit (and rat someone out).

Even if they're in the main terminal, it's not hard to avoid them. Just walk away. They're not going to chase you, and they aren't going to be in the sterile area, behind the security perimeter and the xray machines, unless they're looking for something. And on domestic flights, it's usually explosives.

I knew someone who used to like to put his pot in his Gold Bond powder!

Even if it was wrapped well.....well you get my point. Kind of "alters" the experience. If I remember correctly, Gold Bond is medicated. So not only do you feel well, but the medication kicks in.

bottle.

Probably the easiest way is to get some herbal pills, like milk thistle or something similar, at the vitamin store, pull apart the capsules and substitute weed for the herb contained within. Throw them in with the aspirin and the antihistimine and the sleeping pills and so on, and hide them in plain sight.


Another trick is to buy a pack of menthol cigarettes, take a few of the cigarettes and carefully roll them until you get the tobacco out, then replace it with a non-stinky pot and tamp it down smartly. Leave enough menthols in the pack to provide a plausible overlay of scent, then put the cigarette pack in a cigarette pack holder (one of those leather or vinyl cases that prevent the cigarettes from being crushed) and stuff it in your bag or purse.

I wouldn't chance it with anything. If you can score after you land, you're in your 60s in a rental car. I wouldn't stress it. The chances of your being searched are pretty slim. Granted, you don't have a ponytail/wear tye dye. Just my opinion.

be in violation of Federal law. Probably a bigger penalty then if you were caught with it in your checked luggage.

having just lamented on the drive here about having to leave my weed at home. I hadn't thought about bringing edibles, but that does seem like a bad idea. Just go to any record store where you're going and look for the white guy with dreadlocks 🤘

We thought of mailing also, but as all of you have said, ya, just too risky.

White guy with dreads..., wife and I had a good laugh over that, but trying to score there is a good possibility, maybe if we start the conversation with "hey we're from Washington nudge nudge wink wink..."

drinkers at all, strike up a conversation with a bartender, they'll likely know who can hook you up ...

not a lot, just a few joints buried deep in my checked bag. Been doing it for 30 years. I carry a vape pen in my purse filled with oil. Now I bring my edibles too.

I carry mine in with my makeup, after transferring it to a thoroughly washed makeup bottle with an eyedropper. Or into a Bach's remedy bottle (also cleaned out). It works great. Have never experienced a problem. But I'm careful enough not to take it on the plane, just in my checked luggage.
You could also order from an online source that ships to all states. Just google it. Then you can have it shipped to yourself using one of those mailbox type places.
Feel free to message me if you have questions.

use a USPS fixed-price box and put some dryer sheets in with it. works every time.
