I travelled with my prescription from Brisbane to Hobart

First time I have travelled with medical cannabis. Flew today from BNE to Hobart. Checking in at Brisbane, there were no questions at all. I had my prescribed container and vapouriser in my carry ons. I wasn't questioned at all going through security. I had it on my person all flight. We landed in Hobart and were questioned about having fresh fruits and vegetables. Having none, I said no. There were sniffer dogs at the baggage claim. One alerted and sat next to me. I was asked if I was carrying any fruits or vegetables again and said no, but I am carrying medical cannabis. I showed the security person my scripted container, and she said, "AND I QUOTE: "Oh, cool. welcome to Hobart!"

I love the future.

Tasmania leads the way! If you're not impaired by the medical cannabis, then I think they have the right approach 👍 😉

Also did you know you can legally drive on thc in Hobart/tas if it’s prescribed by a dr?

It’s legal to drive. They won’t charge you in the state of Tasmania if you test positive for thc, as long as it’s been prescribed by a doctor legally.

My god, why is this not the standard in every other state

Come on now, then all states would have to agree and work together on something.

There's some loose wording there and could be interpreted wrong. You can have thc in your system. You can still be deemed to be impaired, which will get you in trouble. Don't drive high. Do drive when the effects have worn off without fear if prescribed.

There is an impairment test, so you have to be sober.

Ive flown 3-4 times now and first time felt like Shappelle Corby or Something but then had to tell myself ": It's a legal script no different from antibiotics"

​

Never got pulled up or anything but knowing that its all legit makes it better

What about to the USA if you're going to a legal state?

My mate tried taking it from Canada to Washington (a legal state) and was charged. It's not legal federally, so unless you want a criminal charge, probs don't try. Just buy it when you're there.

Cheers man!

No worries. Poor German backpacker learnt the hard way but how was he to know. It seemed legal, since he bought it legally and went to a legal state.

Bloody trick question.

The only thing to be mindful of is the battery in the vape. Declare that just incase they have a problem with it, being it could be in the dangerous good category.

We live in great times, only going to get better :)
