Flying with a bit into Iceland

I am visiting there soon, and I had planned to bring a good amount of edibles. But researching this, I have read that they are really looking to bust stoners with just a personal amount in arrivals.

I have scaled back my plans and I will decide if to bring nothing, only an edibles for on the plane as we land ( that I assume would be safe). I have read that they even don't allow cannabis skin creams, lotions so I would assume hemp as well. That is really a shame as I use Mariguana it is excellent for my hemmorids.

Or, I will bring a small piece of hash. I have scaled back my plans, I would be happy to have some hash every other day of this week cruise. I would make it in my room using a candle and some aluminum pan and regular chocolate to melt it in. I love this method for the traveler. I have read many places where they say 'just ask a stoner looking person' but this will not work for me. Others say there are some dodgy bars, even naming one, but this too, I don't think I can, I am with extended family as well. I have read that they allow Sativex.

Perhaps you have been or know someone I would like to know.
1. Do they have dogs visible at the airport, did you see any?
2. I read that the green line for Customs 'Nothing to Declare' they like to pick people out and question them. As A side question, I usually don't look at these guys, but perhaps should I, the innocent look.

Some people caution to not take the chance, which I am considering. In that case, would you suggest some sort of legal alternatives you would use, as for some type of relaxation, pain relief.

Just one sort of problem is that I stopped drinking alcohol 10 years ago. I have considered to drink on the cruise, one always considers this you know. But do I want to throw away 10 years and I might be getting sick and hungover on the ocean not a good combo.

I would consider a CBD only oil taken orally, I have used these in the past, I like them but they are a little costly for me. But here too I am afraid the dog will sniff it.

Or do you think based on your having been there, that I am being a little stoner paranoid just a little or am I spot on. Sorry I went a little long. Peace, hope you have great weed.

I am looking into some alternatives like Kratom. THe more I read about this subject, the more I feel not cut out for bringing in some hash. Of course the sad part is every traveler will have at least 10 items more harmful.

If you're going to be taking absolutely any substance onto a plane, hide it in plain sight. Their scanners are designed to look for sneaky smuggling techniques, not a small cache of cannabis that blends into the rest of your belongings. However... it would make me very uncomfortable to travel with pot to a different country. I realize it is semi-viable to fly domestically, but I don't feel it would be wise to risk charges or jail time overseas. Then again, you only have one life. I feel like that little bit of hash could also make your vacation that much sweeter. :worms:

If I were to do this I would put a couple grams of CO2 oil into a contact lens case in my carry-on. I would have my travelling partners carry my battery and a new refillable cartridge.

Dogs would be your worst enemy but they would have to be trained to smell 420.

This could work for concentrates. You know where it goes.... :razz:

I was actually considering this when heading out to Italy.

However I wasn't sure if it would show up on the body scanners or not.

I decided to accept the T-Break and just took a whole bunch of painkillers with me.

In the end it was mostly the ladies that were being put through the body scanner. I was also surprised that no one kicked up a fuss over the copious amounts of codeine I had packed for the trip.

Can't say I was happy about the idea of travelling with incriminating stuff stashed in uncomfortable places either but I was tempted.

Well, I don't think butt stuff is gonna fly if you're trying to pass a body scanner. Those things are designed to find any object that shouldn't be there.

Exactly what I thought, didn't want to risk it, not worth it in my book.

This place also doesnt' allow Codeine. Or Kratom. I guess the best would be to try locals I read that it's pretty easy to get. Very strange no cbd oil, no hemp. It's funny I am looking at the things they ban to try in the future :) I have to refine my plan but I do want to try a small piece of hash.

I personally wouldn't risk it.

Before my trip I did a fair bit of reading on airport security and the potential of smuggling small personal amounts of cannabis.

Old articles of circa 2000 indicate that it was relatively easy but still risky.

Articles published 10 years+ later start talking about tech like:

Terahertz scanners, drugs, and shoes

That article is the worst case scenario, Dubai. Which is a world away from Iceland. But there are other methods of detection discussed like dogs, trained observation techniques for spotting potential smugglers and the body scanners are more than likely at Iceland's airport. A dead certainty in fact. Not so sure about boat cruises and dock yard security.

Skip past the bit about 10gig networking (unless you are interested in that stuff) for the section that discusses terahertz-scanners.

What it came down to for me was this.
  1. They may not be looking or caring about cannabis but if they find it I'm fucked
  2. Politically it may be explody things that are the target but that makes it harder to slip through undetected with cannabis and they'll still have you for it.
  3. You introduce not only your own government into the scene but a foreign one too. That's too many politicians, officers, lawyers, etc.. all up in your shit. Fuck that, fuck them too.
The impact is high, the risk is medium and I have no way to properly judge the likelihood.

In my case I had the option of the codeine, so it was a no brainer. It's not as good as my herbal alternative but it would see me through the week.

Have you checked to see if the doc can't prescribe you something legal for the trip? Not a perfect solution but something to see you through the trip.

Actually, most articles I've read state that a body scanner cannot detect items hidden internally, but an X-ray can. The X-ray machines are only used if they think you are a mule.

I would buy after I get there IMO.

Laws and legal news about marijuana in Iceland
The latest reports indicate quite a number of Icelanders consume between 1.5-2 metric tons of cannabis and hashish annually that’s about 6-7 grams per an individual per year. Approximately 30%of the people of Iceland have tested marijuana at one point in their life time although it’s quite hard to assert this number.

It is significant to note that persons cannot be searched unwilling by the cops not unless they are under arrest, individuals who are doubtful can be caught since if you decline to be searched by the cops is a sign of acting suspiciously. If you are caught by the police the fine of one gram of marijuana is about 35000iskr which is about $USD 500.
Where to buy weed and marijuana seeds in Iceland
In Iceland, cannabis is not very public, it’s quite hard to see an individual lighting up a joint around the corner although if you begin conversing with a youth aged 20-25 in a bar you can bring up queries related to marijuana. If the talk is dismissed just move on to the next one. The latest information says that you should try linking up with a stoner Icelandic on social sites like face book before making your visit.

I tend to agree, at this point, I am not in well enough shape to get through being scrutinized and analyzed in this way. I can see what my Doctor would do, but only valium or Zoloft. I did not like Zoloft. I don't have that much fondness for valium, it was ok. Truthfully I used to consume codeine when I could not buy any hash when I lived in the middle east. It was hard to get, but I could get the codeine cough syrup, I had quite a run with that, until it turned on me. But I liked the codeine tablets. I was going to get some, but with those sites being shut down. I have some kava tea and maybe nutmeg, this is allowed. I'm not really a pharma guy, but yes codeine would have been good. I'll try with the stoner group. The only thing is I will be with like a lot of people, like 20 family members. I can't just go off and meet someone. If the person is trustworthy, I would rather he leave it for me in some spot that is reasonably well hidden. Then again, I would think to buy hash not weed because of the aroma. I still have to get past Ship security. I would have to hide it on person. Hash would be easier I think. That I could break into a bag of snacks or raisons. Of course someone may see it, but I am willing to lay those odds, it makes the whole process less scary.

I will try to make friends on Facebook and see if I can meet them. I still am a bit afraid of receiving a package in public. what if le is there? I think it's better to just take the T break.

Just to report, first of all, Iceland is a beautiful, amazing place. and I have to recommend you put it high on your list for travel. I ended up only taking edibles commercial chocolate that I consumed as the plane was landing. So I was very very high for going to the blue lagoon, and in the area. very social. After that for 2 days, I was missing Cannabis but then I settled into 'sobriety'. I did have some zanax pills. I only consumed a small amt. about 1 2.5 mg for one day. Some days I did without it. I read a lot and watched the views from the boat and then on land did a lot of strenuous tours and walking. It's a wonderful place to hangout, really the definition of chill. Only issue there is the costs are on the high side. You have to spend on touring altho a lot you don't need a guide or special travel. Food is pretty high. We had brought a lot of snack foods. And being on a cruise we didn't have to eat out.But we spend a lot on touring. Make sure you know what you can do and definetly just walking around there is a fantastic exp. There was someone on fb that said he can get me hash and weed but it wasn't possible for me to meet him. SO if you go, just make some contacts on FB. And did find hemp there, which was funny because they dont' allow you to bring it with you. I didn't see any dogs at the airport, and I was there for a couple of hours waiting for our group. So probably could have brought in some but except for a couple of times, I didn't miss it that much. I had one good dream during this week, and I will look to take some more tolerance breaks going forward. It does help to be on a quiet cruse though.
