Play it safe. Take your trip somewhere else, where you can be sure of 1. the law and 2. your rights. I've lived abroad (mostly in Asia, Africa and
Middle East) for last 30 years and as much as I might enjoy a doobie - I never have outside my home country (USA). Because I just don't know how
things might turn out. Tell your friend you refuse to travel with him/her to a country where MJ is illegal. Especially in your car.
Geez, get real. If you have to ask on a forum what's legal... How much do you value your personal liberty?
You've heard from numerous people here. How much more do you want? Would you prefer face down on the ground with your hands cuffed behind your back
before you make a decision?

Responses with laughable ignorance. FYI. I’ve been stopped at the SI checkpoint and searched for pot that couldn’t be found. They
weren’t happy after giving up. IF I wanted to get something down, it would be no problem at all. I am too paranoid to travel with anything
but know many who have no problem. Oil has no smell from one source. Vape pens do not smell at all. For the large number bringing down
personal stuff, it’s a non-issue. Sometimes it’s called hiding in plain sight.
Ignore those here with zero experience and think CBD belongs in Schedule I narcotics category. When MX goes legal for gringoes, these doofuses
will still be fear mongering.

the hotel staff opened it for them.
This was a group of 3 - 21 year old girls that seemed to be set up by the bartender. So when people have advised to purchase it in Mexico I’m not
going to take that route.
Also as a disclaimer (I’m sure this doesn’t matter either way if arrested) I’m not trying to smuggle a large amount - this is <5 grams for
personal use of THC oil to be consumed via vaping over the course of a month long trip. My spouse was in a bad auto accident requiring eye surgery
when the airbag deployed to remove his cornea and has some visual/neuro issues that cause pain with different lighting situations.

after a discussion they went to a bank instead of jail.
After maxing out his available funds, he was sent on his way, and the cop even gave him back the pot. Cop number two arrested him right away and
since he no longer had any funds to tap into, the second arrest involved jail, a judge, a lawyer. and a whole lot of hassle!

Sounds like you want someone to give you the answer you want. I am sure someone will give you the answer you want, if you keep asking. Personally, I
think it’s pretty stupid to be a gringo possessing pot in Mexico. Cops catch you with dope and you are now their cash machine - they will flock with
you because they know you got money but no clout.
Woke!

Right - I think you misunderstood -  I was more curious about personal
experiences with the recent legal changes to decriminalize marijuana in Mexico.
I’m aware of what’s legal and isn’t - I know better than to soley use a forum as my source, but am seeking as much info as possible. It
doesn’t sound like you have a personal experience with this topic, so while being condescending and judgy may validate your own feelings it
doesn’t really contribute to the topic in a useful or productive manner.

So... it looks like 5 grams or less is legal on the mainland but baja may be different. May be more strict.
The Mex supreme court ruled it unconstutional for it to be illegal.
Ofcourse the internet is full of conflicting information.
My personal experience is that I am usually asked if I want some if I stand around too long in one spot when I am in Ensenada.
Usually in the vicinity of Anthony's.

The flipside of my research on this is that the Mexican marijuana farmers and tourism lobby is pushing for full recreational legalizing.
Seems the farmers can't compete with Westcoast weed so are going out of biz.
And the tourism boss wants to go destination weed for Baja.
So interesting times forsure...
Funny the Cabo bars don't want it because they think it will cut down on booze consumption...

I don't think I would want to have a debate with a Mexican cop about my rights under the Mexican Constitution.

A friend in weed is a friend indeed.
MX has used medicinal cannabis for a long time. Behind the curve, they will never catch up to the laboratories in California and Colorado.
BTW California prices for bud are double the prices in Colorado. Check out Santa Cruz Veterans Alliance. Brothers helping Brothers.

It is very easy to bring marijuana into Baja....when properly stored (stashed) in a vehicle.
One should be creative and be willing to take the risk....experience helps...
And all the Nomads judging pot users should take a look at their own use of alcohol....
Don't believe everything you think....

No ones going to the pokey.
Medicinal cannabis esp. CBD, might look like salad dressing. Mixed with coconut oil. Epileptic kids take syringe fulls to control seizures.
Hippy lettuce? You’ve got to be ***n kidding me.
About the color and consistency of basaltic vinegar, used for pain and what the OP was addressing. Pain management and how to do it in Baja.
Some of you should visit BCS more. Clueless is embarrassing.

Wolfpack, it seems you came to the wrong place to ask about the laws, rules and practices surrounding Marijuana use in Mexico/Baja, and coming into
Mexico.
Lots of outdated, wrong, half truths, and judgmental posts in this thread.
Wolfpack, so far your posts are among the most accurate, so just listen to yourself, or better yet.
Do the opposite of what the majority tell you to do here.
