Hi, lifelong daily pot smoker here, probably older than you, with a couple questions regarding these newfangled ways of ingesting weed I've become so fond of....
Prior to 9/11 I routinely flew with pot. There were no body scanners, no dogs, and no pat downs except in extraordinary cases, so all that was required was to not be stupid. But after 9/11 it just got too risky. The odds of being searched at TSA checkpoints is just too high. Ditto with the odds of checked bags being x-rayed and/or sniffed by canines.
So over the years I've evolved from smoking weed to vaping weed to solely vaping cannabis oils. And this leads to my questions:
1) Will canines hit on CO2 extracted oils? I'm guessing they will but since there is virtually no plant matter left I would think it's a lot easier to conceal from them. Can that be done without vacuum sealing equipment? For example, what if I put a cartridge inside a couple layers of zip lock bags, with one of them containing a layer of vaseline, and then tape that to my body where only a strip search will find it? Will that get past a dog?
2) What would be the safest place to hide a vape cartridge? It would be pretty obvious on an x-ray. It might be mistaken for a tobacco cartridge -- or it might not. So would it be best to carry it on my person and refuse body scans, in checked bags, in carry-on, or what?
3) A vape pen battery is perfectly legal but would it be likely to trigger further inspection?
Wisdom, insights, and thoughts on these weighty matters will be highly appreciated.
How much do you use? For ultra stealth, get an insulin pin and some 1cc fish oil softgels. Use the slin pin to empty the fish oil out, then inject the cannabis oil in. The gauge is small enough that they should seal back up.
