Can I get into trouble for bringing a vaporizer in my luggage at the airport?

That's right, I'm planning to bring my vaporizer with me in my luggage to Mexico, but of course, cleaning it. But if there are still micro-traces of cannabis that could alert a dog, could I get shit for that?

Duh! To Mexico?Are you frigging nuts?

I spend the winter in Mexico, Marijuana is illegal and so are seeds, although carrying up to 5 grams of marijuana is not a crime, but maybe that's different in the airport, and we're talking about traces of marijuana. i.e., cleaning the vaporizer and removing every weed but what if the dogs catch a scent?

What can they tell me if there's no weed but just smell? How can they tell if micro-traces are weed, per se? Am I paranoid?

I have lived and worked in Mexico.Born and raised in El Paso, Texas. Why invite trouble? And it is NOT legal to carry any 5 grams of weed. The cops might - MIGHT - look the other way after you introduce them to Ben. I have advised everyone over the years - do not screw around in MX. First off you are guilty until proven innocent in MX. Period. Additionally there is no right to a speedy trial. There is no time limit for even arraignment to be formally charged.You can sit your ass in the pinche jusgado forever before they ever even decide whether to actually charge you or set a bond (and bond ain't happening for Americans on any charge)

This is not to convince you to not do it but to educate those reading these bits whoever say anything.

Mexican lawyers? Your family will have 3 of them rip them off or disappear with the money before you might be lucky enough to find one who honestly advises them that you are basically sunk but for money he can try. He can at least get you a decent cell and real food if he's good.

Man, we're talking about an empty pen-vaporizer, no weed inside, if somebody ever ask I could just say it's an electronic cigarette which are legal, it's even legal to smoke non-weed in vaporizers at Mexican airports.

But just to make sure, how do you clean a pen-weed vaporizer? do you rub it with alcohol? the alcohol evaporates on its own and doesn't affect your weed next time you load it and use it?

For the uninitiated - if you go to the beach and buy some good weed do NOT take it back to your damned hotel room. At least right away. Already have some place picked out to stash it briefly. They don't want to bust you on the beach and scare any money away. So head from the beach to the stash spot and then go to your room for awhile. If some clerk rolled or whatever they will come to your room. If no pot the cops will NOT press the issue unless a cop plant sold you the weed. Remember - you are a potential ATM in a very poor and extremely poorly run situation.

Buy on online and have it mailed to you!!!!!!! Clean with rubbing alcohol.

I'll say this and let others pipe up - I had to give a fucking cop in MX $20 to keep him from arresting me for KISSING A WOMAN I WAS WITH!!!!!! What's against the law in MX? Whatever that badge-wearing sonofabitch says is against the law. Screw our security here. It's those clowns down there!!!! They are not stupid.

Dude, I'm sorry but based on this answers and other previous answers I detect a lot of negativity in you, are you sure you're smoking weed?

I have an apartment in Mexico and have bought weed before and smoke it in my flat and no problems, now with the vaporizer that will be even less problems, I'm not going to buy a new one, I'm just going to clean it, maybe not even with rubbing alcohol, just remove every herb and place it on my luggage along with my shavers, if they can't find any weed there's nothing they can do.

Had to pay for kissing your girl? The usual extortion but certainly not at the airport and certainly not if you're Mexican.

Yea I wouldn't be fucking around with Mexican cops....as much as they hate Americans ha......are you going to cancun or where in mex?

Well disregard the American thing.....you could have started with saying your mexican, not white...I'm sure hotrod had the same thought..

Well, I'm white but Mexican but who cares, I can speak Spanish and know my way, if a clean vap can get me into trouble then so can anything, it's just bad luck, you're fucked and that's it, like that kid who came back from Columbia and had to spend 1 week in jail because his bag got stolen and they placed cocaine in it and would have spent years if it wasn't because it went viral in Mexico.

So, yes I was being paranoid, a clean vap can't normally get you into trouble, I've been dozens of times in Mexican airports and they haven't even once brought a dog to check my bags, they just randomly open it and look at things, let alone be charged for smelling marijuana but not actually having marijuana, I mean, Imagine "your clothes smell like marijuana, you're arrested"

I was just being paranoid, fuck that, I'll bring my vap no prob.
