    I always have nice bag scan people ask if my vape juice has thc in it and remind me that flying internationally with weed products is illegal when I gly back from Canada to the UK. It’s sweet that they assume I’m too stoned to remember.

      I had the security person at Gatwick pull out my THC vape, give me a judgemental look and head shake before putting it back in my backpack and telling me not to vape in the airport.

      I did vape in the airport. Anarchy in the UK.

        There is a reason why they tell you not to vape THC in airports or planes. Airline personnel are frequently tested and second hand exposure could lose them their jobs. Which is why if someone is caught smoking to vaping in a plane bathroom, the flight is cancelled and the plane emergency lands to immediately test all personnel. Then, the asshole who lit up gets a flight ban and sued for the cost of the flight.

        Asshole.

          Meh, I didn’t make the laws that serve toxic alcohol in airports but have an insane overreaction to a single vape puff.

          Redirect your outrage.

            You can’t get second hand exposure from someone drinking alcohol in your vacinity. You can from someone smoking or vaping. Given the toxin is literally airborne.

    Just hope there isn’t some sort of emergency and the plane has to land in the US.

      Unless you’re real new to weed you can certainly manage a flight stoned without causing a scene.

      Being drunk in public is a no-no because drunk people can be assholes. Not true for weed unless you’re having a panic attack or similar.

        Having a panic attack while super high is awful. It’s like a regular panic attack, but the sense of dread and lack of control over your thoughts is amped way up. At least that’s how it was for me the few times it happened. It’s part of the reason I try never to get too baked. I’m good with a single 5mg edible every once and a while. My days of bong rips and blunt rotations are behind me

      Not sure about the rules in America, but here in Europe they’ll sell you beer, wine and even spirits to drink on the plane. Sadly no weed, though.

        In the US you can buy alcohol in flight, but its against the law to drink your own personal alcohol if you brought any onto the plane

        If you fly first class, you typically can get a complimentary alcoholic beverage while everyone else is boarding, and then also get another once the plane is in flight.

        Thats why on occasion if theyre offering first class upgrade for like $80-$100 Ill do it, especially as a tall person. The extra space is great, and if youre already planning to drink in an airport bar during a layover then its basically moot. Airport bars charge like $20 for a watered down cocktail with less alcohol in it than the drinks an attendant will make

    Mfw the edible kicks in at the end of the flight and you’re landing at Billy Bishop.

    Sitting in a Portland OR (PDX) lounge right now with gummies in my pocket for this red-eye and relating to this meme right now.
