Discreetly medicating on a vacation

So we all love vacations but as mmj patients there are concerns about if or how you can medicate when you are traveling to a place that does not allow medical marijuana. I went on a 14 night cruise to the Caribbean for Christmas and 3 days at Disney World with my family. And before we left I knew I had to find a way to medicate that would not land me in jail for transporting cannabis across state lines and on an airplane. So I checked out all the edibles I could at the different dispensaries in Los Angeles County. And I did this at least 2 months before I left. The key to enjoying your vacation is prep work, if you didn't stock up on meds then you can't complain when you run out.


The first edible I knew I had to carry on me were Cheeba Chews. If you have not tried these you absolutely need to. They are potent at 75mg of THC for the Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid versions and usually cost from $10 to $15. The other versions of Cheeba Chews include the Deca Dose which contain 175mg of THC and cost $20 to $25, C-B-D Cheeba Chew with 20mg of C-B-D and 50mg of THC, and the new Pure C-B-D Cheeba Chew with 50mg C-B-D and 2 mg THC. The Deca Dose is perfect for high tolerance users who require more medicine. The C-B-D chews are great for pain and anxiety and are usually $10 to $20 depending. My favorite is the C-B-D/THC mix as I feel it is a perfect ratio for what ails me. During my trip we also went to Disney World for New Years celebrating with 77,000 other people and my feet were killing me by the middle of the day. I had a full C-B-D/THC Cheeba Chew and when we left after the fireworks my feet were so numb I didn't even notice how much they must have been aching. It truly saved me in a time of need when navigating a crowd take a lot of resilience. Cheeba Chews also worked perfectly to take about half an hour before dinner. I normally have a bowl or dab before I eat so I needed something to allow my self to eat ridiculously indulgent food on the cruise. Cheeba Chews work perfectly as they are easy to ration since it is just a chocolate taffy chew. One warning the taste is not of typical edibles, you can taste the cannabis but there is also a somewhat odd taste to it. Just chew it quickly and have a drink


Another edible I looked at were Cavi Taffies. Made by Caviar Gold these are the equivalent of Cheeba Chews with more flavors and a much easier taste to handle. These Taffies taste like buttery cannabis and come in two strengths 100mg and 200mg, . They are almost equivalent with the potency of Cheeba Chews but I seemed to notice being medicated longer and stronger on Cheeba Chews. Yet if you are more worried about taste and if you enjoy switching up the flavors Cavi Taffy is definitely worth it. There are five flavors including Cantaloupe, Sour Apple Kush, Strawberry Kough, Grand Daddy Purp and Blue Dream. Same advantage of Cheeba Chews for Cavi Taffy is that it looks like you are just popping a piece of taffy into your mouth.


There is an amazing product out called Cannastips. These are like those breath mint strips that you put on your tongue. You take out this little strip with 35mg of THC and keep it under your tongue until it dissolves. There are so many benefits to these because it is the absolute most discreet way I've come across to medicate other than capsules. They come in a thin, resealable packet about the size of a credit card, absolutely perfect to keep hidden in your wallet. They do not smell, but they do taste like minty cannabis. They also come in regular strength and maximum strength. I recommend these for anyone who cannot smoke, the dosing is easy and pleasant.


For another super discreet, no worries, way to medicate is to go and buy THC or C-B-D caplets. My favorite are TIVAcaps, INDIcaps, and Happy Caps which contain 50mg of THC or 10mg of C-B-D. Other reliable pills are made by Gold Caps and the strength can range between 10mg to 50mg of THC. Gold Caps are available at a lot more dispensaries so that makes them a bit more desirable. Another common product are Yak Caps which tend to be in smaller mg doses but are more reasonable in price and are available in THC or C-B-D versions. Many dispensaries carry pill forms of THC and C-B-D but you may want to call ahead to make sure they are in stock. Caplets seem to be one of the more favorable ways for people who cannot smoke to medicate. The benefit I found for caplets on my vacation was that they gave me that baseline I need for the day. These caplets were my wake n' bake that set the day up to be easier to deal with. I love the C-B-D pills for pain, anxiety, and depression as they help with optimism and sharp bone pain.


Now I didn't just have edibles the whole trip. I am used to smoking something whether it is a freshly packed bowl, an oil/vape pen, or dabbing on my favorite rig. So I had to have some way to "smoke" on my trip. The absolute best way of doing this is with Dank Tanks. These prefilled cartridges look just like an e-cigarette vape cartridge and work with any universal battery such as the ones you buy for a rechargeable e-cigarette with a 510 or 710 threading. But getting batteries with a high voltage is recommended for use with oils as the normal voltage is usually too low to vaporize the wax. I recommend getting the 2 gram tank as it looks more like a real e-cigarette cartridge and not a cheap one. These Dank Tanks are perfect for medicating on a vacation because e-cigarettes are now fairly common. Imitating a nicotine smoker is always a good thing to do when trying to medicate among a crowd. My favorite thing about Dank Tanks is that you can be inside while you use them. I was using mine at the bars on the Cruise Ship and not a single person cared nor asked me to stop. And these are potent tanks, you will have red eyes at the end of your sesh and you will be wanting to take a trip up to the buffet. These were my perfect way to end the day because I would sit with a book at one of the bars, sipping on a drink, and vaping on my dank tank with no one the wiser.


Now you know some ways you can actually medicate when you are not in a state or country that allows medicating. Of course you need to research where you are going because some places still might not care how discreet it is. But I can assure you that I took all this with me in my luggage through the L.A. Airport, Atlanta Georgia Airport, Fort Lauderdale Florida Airport, Orlando Florida Airport, Houston Texas Airport, and Ontario California Airport. I only had the Cannastrips and some of the pills actually on me going through security. But I had no problems because nothing smelled. This is the biggest warning I can give. DO NOT BRING FLOWER ON A VACATION! The smell cannot be covered up or ignored so it is best to bring less fragrant medication with you. I would even try to limit the amount of wax that is brought in case but if you are worrying about wax and wanted to bring it with you then put it in your make up bag because it will blend in like no one's business. Just make sure you use a vape pen that looks like a disposable e-cigarette or like the rechargeable e-cigarettes. It is all about blending in. You are trying to medicate for you not to get anyone's attention.


Happy Medicating
