? for the shooters re: travel

[vaxn8]

I keep meaning to post this and keep forgetting. With all the "increased seurity" at airports, what do you guys carry when you have to fly? I have always brought only new syringes, butterflies and filters and stuck them inside this electrical thing I have that is supposed to help with pain. It looks like a medical thing, so I don't worry about sticking all the syringes and crap in there. I'm flying home to visit my parents in Sept. and was just wondering how everyone else deals with flying! I've never tried to carry anything on, except the actual drugs.

You could always mail it to where you are going a few days before you leave.

[vaxn8]

Yes, mailing might work for some places, but I can just see it now, Hey Ma grap my syringes when they come in from UPS! That would go over great! I was just curious about what people do and don't travel with. Most likely, I'll do it like I always have. I just hate dragging this extra thing around that I don't really use.

I always use a bottle of valerian caps (because they have such a strong smell). I empty pull the cap apart and empty all the material out of several capsules and fill them up with (enter contraband here).

As for the 'gear' I have always had a hard time deciding how to carry. When I'm travelling alone, I just carry a new, unopened pack of rigs, and store them far far far away from any other contraband. The worst they will do is the same thing they do with pocket knives or lighters... they'll just trash them. All I say (if asked, but I don't think I've ever been asked) is that I had these, but my meds are waiting at CVS... I'll pick it up when I get there. etc etc.

If I'm travelling with someone else or for some reason want to be extra safe, I just find out ahead of time what the rules are for the state I'm going... I've found even in California (where its really hard to get them from a pharmacy IME) I could find a way. . .

You could always locate a needle exchange, but obviously not every city has one.

I'd just pack a new pack and try.

I have pondered this much, like HoM. I ran accross a travel guide that I felt helped--for overseas travel, but will explain shortly. The guide said to make your own first aid kit filled with bandages, alcohol swabs, ibuprofen, antibiotic cream, etc., AND clean syringes in case you had an emergency and you wanted to make sure you were not being put at risk because of developing world dirty needles.

I put this kit together and put it in my checked baggage. If I was ever asked, (which I never was) I would have said-- it is my travel first aid kit from when I was over seas, and now I just carry it because it seems like a good idea. If there is a problem, madame TSA person, then toss the points.

In any case, you can find one of these 'travel first aid kit lists' on the net, print it off and tape it to the 'kit', and it would be hard for anyone to think you were being anything but an over-cautious person. Even if you lost the points, can't see how they could do anything to you.

Now, the substance that goes in the points,. . . . .hmmm. . . . . .That's a longer uglier story, not now.

What a great fucking idea. I have a first aid kit anyway, that's even in a box with the red cross on the front, and its got all kinds of shit in it. I could just pack them in, and head on out. If there were any questions... its just a first aid kit... I haven't even opened it for a while, didn't remember what was in it...

Plausible deniability for at least getting on the plane... if they're found and they're trashed, no love lost...

Great fucking idea, my friend. I can call you friend, right?

[vaxn8]

Codd - that's an awesome idea! I'm not worried about the substances, because I won't being anything I don't have a script for, so that's no problem. The syringes and filters and all that was what I was thinking about. So, are you carrying all that on with you? I have always checked all that, but would be happier carrying it on!

[Coddfish]

Great fucking idea, my friend. I can call you friend, right?
I prefer chum, but friend is also good. Like 'hey Mom, this is my drug chum, HoM.' And chum is just a cool word, if you think about it. Close pal or fish attractant? We should go fishing sometime, chum.

Anyhoo, as long as you don't offend me with any off-color remarks, keep everything PC and all, we're good. :)

[RobOC]

Just make sure tha if you are traveling to another country that you know their laws for posessing rigs. I know that when my family and I went through Singapore,unlikely that you are going there but they search everything like it's a goddamn bomb. my mom, who is diabetic, had to have a note fromher doc and provide the prescription label for her syringes.

[madnesscult]

Does anybody know about laws against mailing dope inside states? Specifically California?

[Sitar]

Well, mailing dope anywhere is illegal, but if you're careful there's really little risk involved.

[repeek]

Swim packs his dope in a balloon and carries it in his mouth, his works are in his first aid kit.
