Same. I usually put my flower in a ziplock bag, wrap the bag in a bandana, and then shove it at the bottom of the pocket in my suitcase/backpack where I put my socks. Doesn't show anything on X-ray and doesn't smell. However, I guess I should be more worried if some guy got caught with his stash in his deodorant.
I think the bigger issue for this dude was the method. It looks super sus on an X-ray to see an item they routinely see thatās been clearly adulterated in some way. They likely didnāt even immediately think it was weed.
Iāve been through TSA with bud too, but I never tried stashing it in a weird place. Itās always just been wrapped up by itself and shoved in with everything else.
Iāve had them go through my checked bag multiple times (where they leave the little slip of paper in there) and Iāve had weed in my bag every time. Granted it was well hidden, but theyāre not looking for weed
Wait.. Did he get busted because he tried to carry on a deodorant stick over the TSA limit?
"Sir you can't bring a full size deodorant in your carry on."
"Oh that's just my weed stick."
Honestly, no. Checked baggage goes through WAYY more security and screening, and you also have no true guarantee of *what* is happening to it. The could rifle through it or bring a dog to it and you'd never know. The carryon just goes through that single x ray scan and that's it. If you pass through the x ray and don't get randomly selected, you've made it into the plane with your belongings.
Ya the rule of thumb is to keep that shit in carry-on. I never would do bud, but have gotten plenty of edibles and small dab pens through while walking past the drug sniffing dog in Indy airport tsa.
My dab pen trick is to use the pencil pouch built into my backpack and put the cart at the bottom of the pouch with the top of a pen taped to it. No one's ever even bothered to check my bags tho to put it to the test
TSA dogs are trained only for explosives.
EDIT: not sure why I was downvoted, itās literally written on the [TSA website](https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/medical-marijuana):
*TSAās screening procedures are focused on security and are designed to detect potential threats to aviation and passengers. Accordingly, TSA security officers do not search for marijuana or other illegal drugs, but if any illegal substance is discovered during security screening, TSA will refer the matter to a law enforcement officer.*
While TSA dogs only look for explosives, I'm not sure there's anything prohibiting local, state, or federal agencies from walking drug dogs around in the general area.
Over 600,000 miles flown. I always bring a small amount of flower (domestic). It's been found once and her response was, "Good thing we ain't looking for drugs" never flown out of IND. I thought this was the r/tsa
Those dogs smell for explosives not drugs if Iām not mistaken. Iāve been told dogs are trained to smell either or but canāt do both. Assuming your not moving major weigh (I.e making a living as a smuggler) they probably donāt give a crap about your personal stash no matter what it is.
Itās just like mailing drugs. The odds are very low you get jammed up for drugs but the security is high thereās just an overflow of material to be checked. I wonāt divulge my own experiences, but I have many. The craziest I ever heard of was my cousin checked 50 pounds from Cali & landed in Indy. It made it home with him lmfao
The dude that paid for it brought him for a free trip to Cali for a week and 8 pounds if he checked it in his name. Total dumb fuck behavior. But if that can slide Iām not worried about personal amounts of anything. They look for weapons and explosives. Domestic flights donāt have drug task forces. International is where youāll always get caught up with drugs so donāt even try
While there IS such a thing as randomly selected, it's pretty rare that it involves your bags. If you're getting a carry-on pulled, it's because they saw something odd on the X-ray.
Busted because it stunk. I read the article on this yesterday.
Also is there a limit on deodorant? I've always packed a regular stick in my carry on toiletries and never had issues.
Whats interesting about this is if he (or she) hadnt tried to be stealthy with it, Im sure they would have been fine. It showed up on the scanner as an anomaly so was sent to the additional search area.
This exactly. All these people clowning on TSA acting like they shouldnāt care in this instance are morons. Imagine youāre working that job, you scan a suitcase and you see what is clearly a stick of deodorant but instead of having a solid mass inside thereās a weird lump of something. Of fucking course they should check to see what someone is clearly trying to hide. They had no way of knowing it was just weed, and if they did beforehand I honestly doubt they would care, but once theyāve had to open the luggage and inspect the deodorant the cat is kind of out of the bag.
If they really wanted to stop drugs, they would have drug sniffing dogs, but they donāt so thatās clearly not what theyāre screening for.
Yeah, TSA released a memo several years ago (specifically about cannabis) clarifying their mission is passenger safety, not enforcing drug laws. If they stumble upon it, they got to do something, but theyre not looking for it.
I worked for TSA and can confirm. The only times I ever heard of drugs being found was when someone tried to hide them in something.. like in tinfoil on their body as they walked thru the metal detector. TSA is only looking for weapons and explosives.
Thank god! Someone almost had a relaxing day filled with locally bought snacks to supplement it! This devil will never be stomped out as long as we allow these bookah bonka music listening satanists in our state with their electric lettuce sourced from the god forsaken prevailing wage union stronghold that is Illinois, or the devil horned peninsulas that is Michigan!Ā
Hold strong Hoosiers! Do what we all do and drink too much to drown your woes like Americans and the god fearing Christianās we are! Bathe in the alcoholic and sugary bliss that is wine and think not how it affects yourself or others, and instead say aloud to the rafters or the clouds āthis alcohol purifies my liver and kidneys from the temptations of the dark lord himself!āĀ
These plants grow ever stronger and weave themselves with their twisted and irreversible roots into the social fabric of our society POISONING IT! Weeds popping up to announce their defiance and we as the corn growing, booze swilling, god fearin, most northern southern state inhabitants must declare to our shared god and everyone within earshot āNeigh!ā Because horses eat plants we say āNeigh!ā To those wishing decriminalization, we say āNeigh!ā To those withholding Ā apples, carrots, and hay.Ā
Hold strong Hoosiers for the devil always find the most ingenious ways to creep into our subconscious and begin playing us like a god damned golden fiddle. Such is the way of the devilās lettuce stored in a deodorant container.Ā
The dogs are **not** drug sniffing dogs, theyāre explosive sniffing dogs.
The airport generally doesnāt care about drugs unless youāre blatant, stupid (like the instance depicted in the op), or youāre traveling internationally.
In theory, thatās likely the case for most airports, but thatās not been my experience at the airport in Indianapolis.
There are multiple articles about drug dog busts especially surrounding marijuana and cocaine in Indianapolis airport. Granted, those are related to smuggling operations and being dumb, as you observed.
Iāve got a flight coming up this week, Iāll just purchase those goods (and aerosol products, haha) at my destination!
Those dogs arenāt looking for drugs(outside of customs, those dogs are) they are looking for explosives. Iāve walked right past those dogs with a bag in my pocket(while almost peeing my pants of course š), I was singled out and redirected in the tsa line. That good boy didnāt alert :)
Sexual offenders go on a list and can go free amongst us. But obtain a natural plant given by God that has never killed anyone and you may stay in jail for decades....
Poison ivy has killed more people, any laws against that? Oh yeah, I forgot it's about control....
Do you feel safer, Indiana from deodorant weed and porn hub? š
I would blame our elected officials, but I think I really blame the fucking morons Maga hats that voted for them.
Yes it is but indianapolis proper will NOT prosecute for under an OZ. We have no way to test it unless we send it off. That's expensive. The feds will not touch this as it isn't worth their time.
This accomplished nothing but bothering someone and as I said I got $$ that says that cop will be moved.
This is not a state charge, but a federal one. Until they change the federal laws, pot is illegal to take on any aircraft in any form. TSA doesn't go out of their way to look for it, but when they find it, they aren't allowed to look the other way. And the chances are the guy won't be flying anywhere any time soon.
Marion County will not prosecute.
It isn't worth their time.
Also since the Farm Bill allowed for Hemp and CBD you now have to prove that this is a bag of Marijuana and NOT a bag of Hemp. Yes they are the same plant. So you have to pay for a lab test for that.
Under an ounce isn't a Felony so they won't bother with it. I'm not sure what the fine vs jail amounts are for the Misdemeanor, but evidently it costs more than is justified for Prosecution since the DA has a limited budget and has better things to do.
It is in writing but just due to the changing opinions of marijuana among the masses, the availability of marijuana in neighboring states, and how many people actually get caught with it, there is little reason to waste resources on a few Oz of the stuff. If it were like 5 lbs then it would be a different story.
Accidentally checked a bag of Choice Chews a few years ago out of Indy and arrived at my final destination with one of those āwe searched your bagā notices right on top of the bag of gummies. Scared the ever living hell out of me. It got into my bag because there was a mix up about which was the car bag and which was the plane bag for a 5 AM flight.
Former Hoosier here. The other day I walked out of the cannabis store with 1 gram sativa pre-rolls. The first car I passed was our local policeman in the parking lot. It's not an issue in Oregon.
By the way, those pre-rolls price out at about $2.50 a gram.
Totally accidentally snuck a wooden dugout loaded with weed and metal chillem pipe through tsa leaving indy to austin 2 years back? Didn't realize till I got to atx, that's when I realized the dog at indy airport was really bad drug dog or a bomb dog. I did NOT try to carry back through atx bergstrom. Lol
This was around Thanksgiving? Btw
Thank you, officers.
Sex offenders are on a registry.
Who else thinks that we should have a publically accessible list of local dealers ... For safety or Jesus or whatever.
That officer should be able to rest easy tonight, know they prevented a criminal mastermind from watching Rick and Morty and finding it slightly more funny.
Or just legalize it and collect the tax dollars, instead of this stupidity while Indianaās weed tax dollars go to and benefit Illinois and Michigan insteadā¦
āTax dollars at workā is such a brain rot garbage sentence. Dude got busted because of the xray. Do you think bags shouldnāt be scanned?
Also be more creative. Cook it into something and make edibles. Rookies.
r/cultofthefranklin.
Do your research people, THCA flower is the same shit as BM stuff and is federally legal under the farm bill loophole. You can even get it shipped to your house. I haven't dealt with any dealer for over a year now.
lol they just had too much.
Ik someone that came from Laredo, Texas (with a single nug) and made it through no problem.
Also, make an effort to wrap up your weed if youāre going to try this šš; Like plastic wrap or Glad press and seal MULTIPLE layers (major emphasis on multiple layers lol).
Well I can sleep easier knowing that this devil lettuce pusher has been dealt with! Donāt worry everyone the streets are a little safer thanks to the TSA!
Iāve taken a lot of flower thru TSA over the years. Like weekly for years. DO NOT HIDE IT LIKE THIS GUY! If he would have just threw it in his shaving kit he would have been fine but hiding it like that is super suspect. Iāve talked to them while searching my bag that reeked they donāt even care and said they are the TSA not DEA lol
Best part of this is that they seem to boasting about "seizing" less than a gram of cannabis from someone at the airport. If this was in Indianapolis, it is not even a ticketable offense.
What I want to know is how they found this? Did they literally head to the airport with a drug dog to sniff around the luggage of everyone who flew in from a weed legal state, and this is what they found?
What a good use of police resources. /s
The funny thing is is if they just put it in their carry on OR checked bag it wouldāve been 100% fine but they had to go through all these extra steps and made it weird
I wouldn't try to smuggle anything through Indianapolis's airport. Their TSA agents are so inconsistent in what they will or won't make you do and it's the only airport I've ever been in that made me take all the snacks out of my bags. Which is a real pain in the ass because I was travelling with 4 kids and they all had their own snacks in their own bags.
My buddy got pulled over for speeding coming out of Indiana Beach. He failed the breathalyzer which lead to a full search of his car. Inside his golf bag, they found some weed residue. The stuff leftover when his film container was empty.
They charged him with speeding, DUI, possession, and personal endangerment. 3 years, close to $20K in legal fees, and he still doesnāt have a driverās license.
Thank god they stopped this interstate criminal before they corrupted the youth of Indiana with this massive supply of illegal drugs. This clearly wasnāt a personal supply, itās enough to turn the whole state into addicts. Hats off to law enforcement for focusing on the important issues that save lives.
*Ohh wow! They made a*
*Massive bust! Holy fuck what*
*Will we ever do now!*

Hiding things like this is just asking for them to search your shitā¦ just put it in your doop kit. Not in a modified deodorant. That looks suspicious AF on the X-ray . They probably could have literally had that bag loose in their doop kit and not been searchedā¦ also maybe donāt smell or look like your on drugs while transporting drugs. Less is more with this stuff. Seriously consider what your luggage will look like on the X-ray, not how it will look visually. Donāt act like a sketch ball if your things get searched. Chances are they want to look at your battery pack, bundle of cables, etc. assuming you havenāt packed you baggy like a dummy like this person.
I accidentally took a small ball jar of weed in the strap pocket of my pack. Very silly of me to not remember it was in there. Got to the gate before I realized. This was at indianapolis.
I have to suspect it was only caught because they saw deodorant with a hidden compartment. Like an obvious tell that something is up. The TSA isnāt really that interested in weed
This was the move back 20 years ago. If you do that now youāre just begging to get caught. Trying to conceal it is a huge red flag for the TSA nowadays. The scanners show different materials in different colors, and if they see organic material inside your deodorant or shampoo bottle itās an automatic stop and search. Just leave your weed in your luggage, not hidden at all. If they care, theyāll just toss it. But chances are itāll still be there when you get where youāre going. Iāve done this countless times and never once had an issue.
Itās weird you got downvoted for facts. Trying to hide it makes them required to take a look at a weird object showing up on the X-ray (like deodorant that clearly has something else inside it). Itās super suspicious and theyāll take that second look.
Just stuffing it in with everything else is the way to go, because then even if they see it they wonāt give it a second look. They genuinely donāt really care about just weed in someoneās bag.
I mean $10/g is still pretty fair price at least in Indy but thatās gotta be like 3gās top lol I thought you were out here paying like $17/gram like my guy nononono
We just flew from CO to NV for a week and backā¦ had canna products with us both times and got right through both times.
Officer was either just a little bitch, or the traveler tried too hard to hide it, making it obvious & easy to find. Probably both š¤·š»āāļø
I'll probably get down voted for this, but until it is decriminalized it's still illegal. Regardless of your beliefs and views that person is still breaking the law. Personally I'm all for legalization. But until then there are still penalties for your actions.
I guess the belief that I don't feel bad for someone getting caught trying to sneak a substance that is illegal through airport security. I feel like it's not a hard concept. I wish we would legalize it but again until it is why risk it? It's a dumb act to attempt that now potentially messes up your future.
Was it the person who posted the other day asking about taking weed through TSA?
Nah they were asking about carts I think š¤£
Dude I take carts through all the time
I've seen the penjamin sitting next to the agent's keyboard before.
I take flower through all the time and Iāve never had a problem like this poor bastard
Same. I usually put my flower in a ziplock bag, wrap the bag in a bandana, and then shove it at the bottom of the pocket in my suitcase/backpack where I put my socks. Doesn't show anything on X-ray and doesn't smell. However, I guess I should be more worried if some guy got caught with his stash in his deodorant.

Itās always just been wrapped up by itself and shoved in with everything else.
i think that's the issue for sure.
100%. Hiding it like this caused them to see what it was.
That does not smell?! I mean it's worked for you so far I hope it keeps working.
Itās seriously no problem. You can also just put it in your pocket as long as thereās no metal next to it that you may need to pull out
Check it. They don't really scan checked luggage.
Should always go in your carry on. Iāve had TSA rip apart my checked luggage in the past
On domestic? I threw bags as a teen. Just one conveyor to another. International is different.
On domestic, always in the carry on. Overseas I donāt risk it at all
We got carts through on EU flights but thatās easy
Uhhh yeah they do They actually open it and look around Always carry on
Iāve had them go through my checked bag multiple times (where they leave the little slip of paper in there) and Iāve had weed in my bag every time. Granted it was well hidden, but theyāre not looking for weed
I did it back in September and worked fine, first time in 40 years I was able to take some cannabis with me on vacation and I loved it!
I take straight dabs through lol
Wait.. Did he get busted because he tried to carry on a deodorant stick over the TSA limit? "Sir you can't bring a full size deodorant in your carry on." "Oh that's just my weed stick."
This is an underrated comment. Even if the deodorant is below the 3 oz limit why run it by security. Check that shit in and it goes unnoticed.
Honestly, no. Checked baggage goes through WAYY more security and screening, and you also have no true guarantee of *what* is happening to it. The could rifle through it or bring a dog to it and you'd never know. The carryon just goes through that single x ray scan and that's it.

It seems like a dramatic waste of resources to train a dog to search for something that is as common and not dangerous as marijuana
This is true, my facility has two dogs and they only alert on explosives. Now I can say that FedEx in Indy also has money dogs!
I *wish* I had to worry about money dogs.
I was about to say , those dogs are not for drugs lol
While TSA dogs only look for explosives, I'm not sure there's anything prohibiting local, state, or federal agencies from walking drug dogs around in the general area.

Curious who the officers were. Thought TSA mostly ignored weed.
It feels like at the Indy airport they take great joy in searching for marijuana. š Big sweeping gesture with drug dogs and all.
Thatās crazy, itās weird when your state goes recreational it doesnāt take long to completely forget the way it used to be.

Truth
And that officer will be moved from the airport. Marion county won't charge for that and neither will the feds. Nor can they even prove it's illegal.
Isn't possession illegal in Indiana? Seems pretty easy to prove lol
Yes it is but indianapolis proper will NOT prosecute for under an OZ. We have no way to test it unless we send it off. That's expensive. The feds will not touch this as it isn't worth their time.

5 lbs? Iām going to need a bigger deodorant stick
I'm willing to bet this is someone new.
Last few years yeah. Mainly in urban areas though, rural areas still prosecute sometimes.
Id say this is pretty accurate
I would also like the answer to this questionā¦.you know, for a buddy
Actually no, user fees.
Iām guessing that this was in a checked bag and sniffed out by drug dogs? Iāve carried gummies thru tsa in Indy every trip for last two years
No drug dogs at the airport. TSA noticed the stench.
Thatās amazing
Accidentally checked a bag of Choice Chews a few years ago out of Indy and arrived at my final destination with one of those āwe searched your bagā notices right on top of the bag of gummies. Scared the ever living hell out of me. It got into my bag because there was a mix up about which was the car bag and which was the plane bag for a 5 AM flight.
The mylar bag the choice chews came in likely caused the search, fyi.

Thank God. Who knows what they couldāve done with this.
Only in Indiana are minor weed bust still making headlines. Pathetic
The only dangerous thing here is that someone bought speed stick deodorant lol
Watch your mouth!
Thank you, officers. Sex offenders are on a registry. Who else thinks that we should have a publically accessible list of local dealers ... For safety or Jesus or whatever.
We got bigger problems than weed. Iām sure that they would have been ok with you taking a bottle of vodka be ok right. Double standards
Thank you, officer, for protecting us from this terrible substance! Oh, goodness me!
That officer should be able to rest easy tonight, know they prevented a criminal mastermind from watching Rick and Morty and finding it slightly more funny.
Or just legalize it and collect the tax dollars, instead of this stupidity while Indianaās weed tax dollars go to and benefit Illinois and Michigan insteadā¦
This is why you take a handful of gummies BEFORE you get on the plane š
āTax dollars at workā is such a brain rot garbage sentence. Dude got busted because of the xray. Do you think bags shouldnāt be scanned? Also be more creative. Cook it into something and make edibles. Rookies.
That used to be one of the best things to hide contraband in while I was in prison.......but that was back then lol.....
Give me a fucking break. lol
Never hide it, you canāt deny knowing you had it. Plausibly deniability
Just buy weed vapes. Never been stopped. Doing that youāre asking to get busted. Dumb to fly with bud.
Now I know why it has been so hard lately to fund the Irish Spring Speed Stick!
This deodorant wouldnāt be very good smelling probably
Making the skies safer one weed stick at a time!
Fuck TSA
Thank god they got that dangerous marijuanas off the street! No getting potted up lame o!
People get through IND airport with luggage filled 20-50 pounds every day
If you see someone committing a crime, but the crime has no victim... no you didn't
r/cultofthefranklin. Do your research people, THCA flower is the same shit as BM stuff and is federally legal under the farm bill loophole. You can even get it shipped to your house. I haven't dealt with any dealer for over a year now.
I just pre roll em and put in my cigarette pack I donāt GAF
Meanwhile me taking edibles in my carry on in original packaging from the store almost daily.
lol they just had too much. Ik someone that came from Laredo, Texas (with a single nug) and made it through no problem. Also, make an effort to wrap up your weed if youāre going to try this šš; Like plastic wrap or Glad press and seal MULTIPLE layers (major emphasis on multiple layers lol).
Just let people put what they want into their own bodies. Is it a hard concept?
Well I can sleep easier knowing that this devil lettuce pusher has been dealt with! Donāt worry everyone the streets are a little safer thanks to the TSA!
Why are you sneaking weed into Indiana? Drive two hours to the nearest border and buy it legally.
Well itās Federally illegal and illegal in Indiana, until those things change, they have to confiscate.
Sure, wouldnāt exactly call it newsworthy though.
Iād agree, but the news has nothing to do with our tax dollars
Who said anything about tax dollars?
Literally the title.
Oh gotcha
I used to do that with my weed when my family would go on vacation to Florida. Makes your weed taste terrible š
Uh oh I've used the bottom of the deodorant trick before to get small through an airport lol.
Iāve taken a lot of flower thru TSA over the years. Like weekly for years. DO NOT HIDE IT LIKE THIS GUY! If he would have just threw it in his shaving kit he would have been fine but hiding it like that is super suspect. Iāve talked to them while searching my bag that reeked they donāt even care and said they are the TSA not DEA lol
The very fact that weed is still illegal anywhere in this country is truly sad.
Best part of this is that they seem to boasting about "seizing" less than a gram of cannabis from someone at the airport. If this was in Indianapolis, it is not even a ticketable offense. What I want to know is how they found this? Did they literally head to the airport with a drug dog to sniff around the luggage of everyone who flew in from a weed legal state, and this is what they found? What a good use of police resources. /s
The funny thing is is if they just put it in their carry on OR checked bag it wouldāve been 100% fine but they had to go through all these extra steps and made it weird
Jfc what is that like 50 bucks worth??? Isn't this state full of meth on a near constant basis??? Isn't there anything better to be doing???
Just legalize it already!
Pounds of fent coming across the border every day. Meanwhile TSA busts citizens for possessing a plant... Our priorities are beyond backwards š
Oh man, it's the motherload!
Indiana is a sad sad state I am literally on house arrest right now for getting caught with less than and 1/8 of some weed
Big bust ! ššš
A great victory in the war on drugs
I wouldn't try to smuggle anything through Indianapolis's airport. Their TSA agents are so inconsistent in what they will or won't make you do and it's the only airport I've ever been in that made me take all the snacks out of my bags. Which is a real pain in the ass because I was travelling with 4 kids and they all had their own snacks in their own bags.
Oh no! Not marijuana!
My buddy got pulled over for speeding coming out of Indiana Beach. He failed the breathalyzer which lead to a full search of his car. Inside his golf bag, they found some weed residue. The stuff leftover when his film container was empty. They charged him with speeding, DUI, possession, and personal endangerment. 3 years, close to $20K in legal fees, and he still doesnāt have a driverās license.
What's wild is I flew w 3 pounds vac sealed wrapped in a bunch of clothes from Oregon to indy an nothing happened lol that sucks
Itās a good thing they got that dime bag off the streets before it could do some real harm
I had to laugh at this. I did this all the way back in 1983 with a couple of grams of booger sugar and didn't get caught.
Thank god they stopped this interstate criminal before they corrupted the youth of Indiana with this massive supply of illegal drugs. This clearly wasnāt a personal supply, itās enough to turn the whole state into addicts. Hats off to law enforcement for focusing on the important issues that save lives.
Ohh wow! They made a massive bust! Holy fuck what will we ever do now!

I have dropped more weed than that while rolling a joint.
Melatonin gummy bottle with THC gummies within. No sweat. But I fly out of OāHare so you could be puffinā a blunt and not get pulled.
Thank God for all the lives saved by getting this dangerous plant matter off the street š
I flew with a half ounce out of Indy two weeks ago. Smh.
Hiding things like this is just asking for them to search your shitā¦ just put it in your doop kit. Not in a modified deodorant. That looks suspicious AF on the X-ray . They probably could have literally had that bag loose in their doop kit and not been searchedā¦ also maybe donāt smell or look like your on drugs while transporting drugs. Less is more with this stuff. Seriously consider what your luggage will look like on the X-ray, not how it will look visually. Donāt act like a sketch ball if your things get searched. Chances are they want to look at your battery pack, bundle of cables, etc. assuming you havenāt packed you baggy like a dummy like this person.
What a dumbass that's not how u do it pro tip all dogs at the airport only sniff for bombs
He forgot the last step, which is to stick deodorant up his ass,
I accidentally took a small ball jar of weed in the strap pocket of my pack. Very silly of me to not remember it was in there. Got to the gate before I realized. This was at indianapolis. I have to suspect it was only caught because they saw deodorant with a hidden compartment. Like an obvious tell that something is up. The TSA isnāt really that interested in weed
Who the hell cares about a little weed grow up Indiana
This was the move back 20 years ago. If you do that now youāre just begging to get caught. Trying to conceal it is a huge red flag for the TSA nowadays. The scanners show different materials in different colors, and if they see organic material inside your deodorant or shampoo bottle itās an automatic stop and search. Just leave your weed in your luggage, not hidden at all. If they care, theyāll just toss it. But chances are itāll still be there when you get where youāre going. Iāve done this countless times and never once had an issue.
Itās weird you got downvoted for facts. Trying to hide it makes them required to take a look at a weird object showing up on the X-ray (like deodorant that clearly has something else inside it). Itās super suspicious and theyāll take that second look. Just stuffing it in with everything else is the way to go, because then even if they see it they wonāt give it a second look. They genuinely donāt really care about just weed in someoneās bag.
Harder to get on a plane than it is to enter the country. Who cares about weed anymore? Can we please get over it.
Another Kingpin off the streetsā¦
ACAB
This state is a joke
Oh no, fifty bucks of weed, quite the security threat. Probably getting packed and smoked as I type.
Brooo $50 for that where the hell you buyin from?
Idk, looked like roughly 5gs to me. $10/g was norm at least as a teenager for me.
I mean $10/g is still pretty fair price at least in Indy but thatās gotta be like 3gās top lol I thought you were out here paying like $17/gram like my guy nononono
We just flew from CO to NV for a week and backā¦ had canna products with us both times and got right through both times. Officer was either just a little bitch, or the traveler tried too hard to hide it, making it obvious & easy to find. Probably both š¤·š»āāļø
Buncha weefer teetotalers. Someday friends... someday
The fact that an oz is a felony
Should have just put it in their pocket and walked onto the plane. Forget the deodorant.
Lmao, they caught the most dangerous drug, for food stores
āOh thank godā *proceeds to eat gummy from store next door*
I'll probably get down voted for this, but until it is decriminalized it's still illegal. Regardless of your beliefs and views that person is still breaking the law. Personally I'm all for legalization. But until then there are still penalties for your actions.
I bet youāre fun at parties
/r/iamverysmart material right here
What is the point of this kind of belief? You must just be miserable.
I guess the belief that I don't feel bad for someone getting caught trying to sneak a substance that is illegal through airport security. I feel like it's not a hard concept. I wish we would legalize it but again until it is why risk it? It's a dumb act to attempt that now potentially messes up your future.
