Getting meds while on the road??

I'm in California.
My wife and I are going on a 5 month RV trip to Alaska.
Don't want to cross the international borders with it on us especially coming back in to the USA.

Any suggestions on where in British Columbia and also Alaska to get FECO, edibles, and/or flowers?

We really need our cannabis meds for sleep, etc..and it's a shame I can't bring my homegrown flowers and also edibles I've made with us. I have a lot.

I don't think you'll have any problem finding some in BC. Vancouver is the pot capital of Canada. Electric Monk Mar 2016 #4

I sent them an email asking if dogs can detect this product.
I'll post back when they reply.

let us know how you figure it out. We bring lots of edibles with us when we travel and don't think much about them.. cookies in the freezer, bags of candy, etc., though we've never crossed an international border with them. Also, oil for a vape pen. I would think you could travel with that.

Good luck.

Visitors wandering through some of Canada's largest cities could be forgiven for assuming marijuana is legal. Dozens of storefronts have sprouted up in Vancouver recent years advertising pot for sale under the guise of medicine, and they're becoming increasingly common in Toronto and other cities.

The stores are all illegal, but the prospect of legalization under Justin Trudeau's Liberals has emboldened operators to expand and left local governments and police forces unsure of what to do.

(snip)

Dispensaries are storefront operations that sell marijuana to customers who say they have a medical need. Some operations require customers to provide medical documentation, such as a note from a doctor or other health-care professional, but others are less strict. The owner of Canada's largest chain has said he will provide up to a gram of marijuana products a day to any adult who says they are sick, without any medical documents. Some have on-site naturopaths, and at least one allows prospective patients to consult one via video chat. Unlike the legal medical marijuana system, which provides only dried pot and oil, many dispensaries sell pills, creams, cookies and other products made with cannabis.

(snip)

The City of Vancouver and its police department have taken a hands-off approach to dispensaries, intervening only if there is a risk to the public, such as sales to minors or links to organized crime. The police department says dispensaries are a “low priority,” although it has executed search warrants at roughly a dozen locations; most of those stores re-opened within weeks.

...carrying, while crossing USA-Canada border isn't that difficult, especially in a vehicle large enough to provide many hiding places.

As another poster said, looking 'innocent' at the initial contact with border guards, helps the most. They can't search every vehicle, so they rely on 'first impressions'. Make a good one and they'll wave you through.

For years I 'carried' back and forth in a big truck even when the general consensus was that every trucker was a dope-crazed outlaw.

Dope-sniffing dogs were the worst threat but even then, there were places on the outside of the vehicle that were out of their sniff range. Keeping the inside of the vehicle clean AND smelling good was important in case there was something in your appearance or demeanor that tweeked their interest.

If they ask, you have never smoked pot and you don't know anybody who has...

pm me if you wish....
