Mailing it seems like the only good option. Problem is, I have no clue what the proper way to mail bud is. I think you have to vac seal it and do some other procedures, but I'm not sure what they are. I would like to know though because I'm going to live in Germany for a year about two weeks after my buds harvest... I don't want to turn approx 2 lbs into brownies... but I might have to.

Do what I said, but send them in several packages, with a false return address. My guess is, just like with ordering seeds, they have no way of proving you sent them to yourself or had any knowledge of it, so all they can do is confiscate it. I suggested the vinyl wallpaper because thats what we used when I used to transport, it probably won't work with dogs, but honestly dogs don't sniff every package as they come in the country, the man power that would take would be WAY unrealistic. I noticed on a mail drop off a notice saying anything over 13 oz has to be taken to a post office to send, I would honestly probably send them in pacs of 3 oz. The lighter the less suspicious. Remember, drugs aren't they're BIGGEST concern anymore, now they're more worried about bombs...not that they're NOT looking for the drugs, but thats why they single out heavier packages.

On a side note, I would make prob 3 oz into cookies, as their chances of making it even if found are alot better....

Any package that wont fit into the little 1 " by 14 " slot has to be taken to the desk, regardless of weight. Read my other posts farther up, it covers the main issues with sending through the mail. The best defense is a good offense . Walk up to the postmaster and send it, act like your sending a birthday present , they'll ask you if your trying to ship anything explosive, reactive ,illegal etc etc. and you say no , duh . at which point i'll say it's coupons or sunglasses. DONT SAY BOOKS, no magazines newspapers etc, they'll mark it a media parcel and it becomes more likely to be scrutinized by prying eyes. i disagree that they look more at heavier packages, a bomb can weigh a ounce and it could kill you if it went off in your face, anthr@x etc.they look at international with a fine tooth comb in comparison to domestic. just act like your not doing anything wrong, and you wont be suspicious . it's easy . common sense goes a long way. :):)

Back to taking reefer on planes.

You're allowed a carry-on like a backpack. You can easily bring upwards of a quarter pound in Pringles cans in a scented garbage bag. The liners of the Pringles cans shield the x-rays and aren't suspicious.

Bad advice from a 2 poster. Don't listen. If they can't see into a Pringles can they will open it, and since it's not sealed they have every right to.

Hey
I put it in my luggage, and have never been caught, even when flying back from amsterdam. How do you think those bombs got threw securtiy???? exactly,
I use a sock,the baggie inside,, normally dirty so if they do search your bag in cutoms it just looks like a dity balled up sock. I would never fly with it on me or in my hand luggauge. they xray your hand luggauge so anything they cant see into they will want to get in and look at.;
and if its strapped to your person chance are if you bleep you will get searched and maybe found out.
An Idea I have yet to try is to send a small 1/8 to where Im going, hotel address, so when I get there the next day it would arrive and I just pick it up offa the frount desk. I havent tryed it but have sent a quater in the post before.
A tip is to seal it in a baggie, wrap the baggie in cling flim, lots of cling flim, bung it in the dishwasher on 55-60 degree c , or in hot water in a bowl, this makes the layers of clingflim melt togther and
seasl in the smell, when it got to the other end a pair of sissors to cut it open and wa-la. It has worked for me, the cling flim becomes hard and seals all smell in. I've heard, dont know, that this method can even get past a sniffer dog,,I wouldnt be the one to try it though......
Hope that helps,,#

Dude, if they search your bag your hit. Plus a bag stuffed inside a sock will show up on a xray scanner. If you have, up to an oz stuffed in your balls there is no way to get caught. Unless you go through one of the new scanners that sees through clothing, but I believe these scanners are optional. GL

it is a totally good idea on paper, but in reality; the drug sniffing dogs can still smell the cannabis in the edible, just like they can smell buds, hash, oil, and tincture... if you take edibles, only take as many as you can eat *right now* that way you don't get charged with trafficking... or you can eat before you fly, but then you're back to not having any when you get there...

im talking about checked luggage. They clearly dont xray those bags, firstly it would take way to long to do everyones luggage in ever airport every day. No, also people in the airport industry even admit they dont because they just cant, for man power and cost.... It just dosnt happen.
Abit off point but did you know in the past 10 years only ONE, yes ONE airline has made alot of money. Easy jet,, and now the other that have copyed his business model.
Back to the luggage,,, They take 'sample bags' for each flight(some airports only do 10 bags aday. (LHR is one,,yeah thats heathrow.)) and xray only those checked bags.. I dont know about the US or that but in the UK thats how it works. Thats why the head of BA said he was shocked about how lazy procedures for airport luggage and freight are.

Also the body scanner are now installed in some UK airports, those are the ones where you appear 'naked',,,so taking it on your person is crazy.
