ULPT Request: Taking my THC vape pens from USA to UK
Posted by AdoIsOnReddit@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 74 comments
If I legally owned several THC vape pens in the USA, and if I was going to spend a few months in the UK, what would be the safest way for me to take them on a plane to the UK?
YouArentReallyThere@reddit
I’ve lived in the UK for better than a dozen years…here’s what’s going to happen:
Your vape pens will be noted and a polite customs agent from HMCE will swab them, run the swab through a mass spectrometer and notice it alert to the presence of THC. They will conduct an interview (at their leisure) revoke your visa and plonk your butt onto the first thing smoking back across the pond. You may be afforded the opportunity to call the person waiting for you in the exit hall. Or not. You’ll be added to a forever list with a 5-year ban on travel to the UK and any territories of The Crown (including Canada)
Leave your gear at home. There’s plenty of cannabis (and cannabis friendly people) throughout Europe.

Hey all,
My wife and I are heading to St. Lucia for our honeymoon next month, flying out of JFK. Just curious—has anyone brought a weed pen there before?
I’ve got a CT Pharma pen with screw-on carts. No issues flying with it domestically—I usually keep the pen in my carry-on and toss the cartridge in my toiletry bag.
Anyone have experience flying with one specifically to St. Lucia? Wondering if it’s chill or if I should just leave it at home.
Appreciate any advice!

I got plenty shipped from Atlanta if you need hooking up.
Competitive_Egg1037@reddit
yes pls
Embarrassed-Fill-535@reddit
Coming to London tomorrow and need a vape connect. Don’t want to fly w my disposable
Holymolyno@reddit
Yes
butchie-boo@reddit
I did it at age 16 from USA to UK😅unscrew the cartridge and wrap it in a sock and put it right at bottom of your suitcase and put the battery in your carry on- I did this and had 0 issues even after they searched my carry on.
Alternative-Relief35@reddit
I have done it do many times with no issue.
Exciting_Relative530@reddit
Carry on bag only! Customs is where you’ll be taking any risk - rip off any THC or signs that make the vapes indiscernible from a nicotine vape… never crossed into the UK with vapes but Canada /USA was pretty chill.
Remember the most important rule of all: Only commit one crime at a time!
sheetpanchicky@reddit
I suggest mixing edibles in with similar looking items, mints for example. Flower or vape pens seem riskier.
AMP121212@reddit
Yeah, don't break the law while you're breaking the law.
Jumpy-Ad6470@reddit
\^this
TSA generally doesn't care. Customs you're playing by UK rules.
Carry on.
Allison1ndrlnd@reddit
If your spending a few months there why not take a lil train trip to Amsterdam, but like scare all the babies you come across
rustyicon@reddit
Where in Amsterdam do they sell the vapes?
Allison1ndrlnd@reddit
Downtown
rustyicon@reddit
Bru wtf does downtown mean. Have you ever seen a Dutch city

Medical THC is legal with a prescription from this ( other clinics are available) clinic in the UK. Take a look at the requirements, and have things ready when you arrive.
mingemopolitan@reddit
From the NHS England website: Private prescriptions from outside the UK will not be permissible as the law indicates that prescribing of cannabis-based products for medicinal use is restricted to clinicians on the General Medical Council’s Specialist Register.
Nippyweesweetie@reddit
Aww that's a shame 😕
dancing-donut@reddit
Collect all the salt and sugar sachets on the plane, dump them into a ziplock bag, hide the vapes in there and strap it to your chest using duct tape, you’ll be fine, they’ll never notice
karelinstyle@reddit
Get "the merchant of death" re-jailed so he can be released in case u get caught
iButtflap@reddit
had to check to see if i was on nba circlejerk for a sec
JimmyBallocks@reddit
You should hold them in your hand, march right up to the immigration officials when you arrive in the UK and say "hello I have these THC vapes on me which are illegal in your country but it's ok if I bring them in right?"
Aj-Adman@reddit
British police legally can’t arrest you if you just say no
jonzilla5000@reddit
Close, but what actually works is to take a big rip and blow it right in the agent's face. Before he has a chance to bounce you out the drug takes hold and then he'll be all like, "No problem mon, have an irie day!"
Xaq_Man@reddit
mail it ahead of time
damnkidzgetoffmylawn@reddit
Use Usps- This is the way
sixwax@reddit
USPS shipment is handed off to local/notional National delivery services once it's through Customs, so...
damnkidzgetoffmylawn@reddit
True but customs is the hard part
dirigo1820@reddit
USPS is federal, not sure I'd want to get busted by them.
cant_pass_CAPTCHA@reddit
Being federal, my understanding is they actually need a search warrant, whereas with UPS or FedEx you sign your rights away under their TOS
damnkidzgetoffmylawn@reddit
Ups and other private shippers try harder to catch this sort of thing, they have detection teams and more personnel.
dirigo1820@reddit
I’ll be damned. Learn something new every day.
Gogglesed@reddit
Do you like to gamble? You might be lucky. Do you hate gambling? You'll probably get caught.

Prison pocket
keyboardbill@reddit
Up the bunghole, prison style.
jwGT1141@reddit
Put em in your prison wallet
Eastern-Astronomer-6@reddit
Keister them
the_third_lebowski@reddit
You'll probably be fine. The consequences of you're unlucky can be really bad. You should absolutely just not do this at all.
Famous_Actuary5621@reddit
Just putting your checked bag. No one is looking for that.
BiggusDickus-@reddit
You don't legally own THC vape pens. They are illegal under federal law.
Hanamii-@reddit
Bro really came on here just to comment that lol
spicyhotnoodle@reddit
Put it in your carry on. If you are worried then put them in there with some snacks or something. They won’t notice
LivinMyAuthenticLife@reddit
Just buy thc capsules/tablets and put them in a medicine bottle
Change_contract@reddit
Just visit your doctors office and get a medical statement
Muttywango@reddit
If you were to bring them you should also bring your prescription. If they're recreational, don't bring them unless you're willing to risk imprisonment and deportation.
la_croix_bong_water@reddit
TSA doesn’t care, but when you land in the UK you’ll have to go through their customs. Your mileage will vary with that
Obvious-Release-5605@reddit
Wrong sub mate this is the unethical sub not the illegal.
Only solution is to carry it up your prison pocket.
