Anyone have experience or knowledge how TSA & international departures treat THC gummies, like Delta9, in carry-on bags? Before everyone freaks out, these are legal in the US, sold & shipped via USPS, used by many as a sleep aid. Asking for a friend who is heading to Costa Rica soon.

Better question would be how International arrival handle in Costa Rica. International departures are not different than US domestic departures.

With that said the best practice is don't travel unless 100% positive they are legal at destination. Even then traveling with recreational drugs is best avoided.

I don't think TSA looks of even cares for that kinda thing. Your friend's main concern should be the country to which he is heading and the legalities there.

It should be a hard pass for him to try and take those out of the country. Heck even regular vapes aren't legal to take into Mexico.

I doubt he wants to be put in prison in a foreign country.

I'd put them all into an empty Emergen-C bottle and cruise on thru. Life is too short to go without THC.

I'm halfway kidding. I'm sure that idea would work, but like others have said, why risk it? Just pack some Zzzquil and have less than 100% sleep for the trip.

Not worth the risk in my book.

I'm glad it worked out for him, but this is so very risky. A lot of countries have dog sniffers. There ain't no way I'm risking getting my arse stuck in a Mexican prison.

I'd be more worried about the trip back home. It's the outbound drugs that they pay more attention to down there.

In theory by law, 0.3% or less should be ok. That said, I would advise keeping them in original packaging (preferably unopened) and not bringing any back. If you try to creatively conceal them and they get discovered, think they are gonna buy that they are 0.3% or less? Or might they believe you are bringing in something stronger and illegal? Risky.

In reality, there is always the chance you run into an unreasonable authority and get screwed regardless. In general, I think traveling with this stuff and putting yourself at the mercy of random law enforcement in foreign countries is an unnecessary risk. The vast majority of the time, it's probably fine (hence you'll see anecdotes of people who did similar with no issue), but the chance you become an exception can really **** things up royally for you.

Just keep them in the same zip lock with the bullets.
