Cheech & Chong Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 Some states it is legal to have/consume marijuana products while others aren’t there yet. What should we be aware of as we travel through the US regarding possession and possible prosecution if we were stopped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittyklawz Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 It is technically illegal to cross all state lines with it, so don't get caught lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray,IN Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 First thing is, do not do anything to give a reason to be stopped/pulled over. A drug test will detect MJ in your system for up to a month after you consume some. If you happen to be in a state where it's illegal, or you are above the minimum threshold__well. well___. 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis.

hemsteadc Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Don't even worry about it. I've toted smoke all over this country. The cops are not too interested in old Rvers holding a few smokes or edibles, regardless of Federal law which is only there in remembrance of Harry Anslinger. Just don't drive loaded.

Vladimir Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 Busting Willie Nelson for having a joint in Texas.....is like busting Santa Claus for breaking and entering in the rest of the US. Not my quote...but a good one!!!! Notice...it was the FEDS that busted Willie Nelson at one of the inland border control points. Probably a "urban" hire by the Border Patrol that had no clue who WIllie Nelson was.

podwerkz Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 No actually, after the K9 alerted, they pulled the tourbus into 'secondary', and a few agents boarded the bus...several of Willies bandmates were on board also...along with Willie sitting further back. The agent smelled the odor, and saw a joint in an ash tray near someone else, not Willie. The agent picked it up, asked who it belonged to, and Willie stood up, raised his hand, and said, "that one is mine'...all of them are mine' (or words to that effect)... Obviously he took the 'fall'...not wanting his friends and bandmates in jail for who knows what...they cuffed him, took him to Culberson County jail there in Van Horn, and he posted bail and was out in a few hours.... I'm sure his lawyers got him out of that one by paying a fine...presumably. Nothing to see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjim Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Wasn't he busted another time sitting on the side of the road in his Mercedes. I forget when but I am thinking Mclennan County. I don't know any outcomes and as much as I like Willie there should have been equal treatment as anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twotoes Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 I’m sure Willie is more worried about the IRS and his back taxes owed than a little joint in the ash tray. 2015 Itasca Ellipse 42QD 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock Edition 2021 Harley Street Glide Special Fulltimer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinx & Wayne Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Things to know about marijuana and interstate RV travel. While tolerance of marijuana use is growing, it can still have serious consequences, particularly for travelers. In some states possession is a felony. In some states if it is found in your vehicle your vehicle can be forfeit. Sometimes the difference between felony trafficking and felony/misdemeanor possession is amount. That amount varies from state to state. In some others it is a misdemeanor. In some it is legal. This is a matter of state law. Under federal law possession is illegal everywhere. This can be a serious problem if you are in a national park or other federal lands. MJ DUI laws vary from state to state, too. In some states the presence of any THC in your blood or urine is presumptive DUI. In others the DUI level is based upon the concentration of THC in the blood or urine; a common threshold is 5 ng/ml of whole blood. In other states is is an issue of impairment related to THC. Most states rely to some extent on NHTSA Drug Recognition Evaluation which has been deemed to be voodoo science in some places. If you are driving a multi-ton vehicle and convicted of DUI expect jail. If you are charged in any court having to come back to that state to appear in court can be a major issue for travelers.

packnrat Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 as a commercial truck driver living under fed law. pot is and will remain to be a class one controlled drug till it comes off the drug testing list. as if someone smoked it and i accidentally got there smoke in me i can lose everything. as my job has a NO reason policy, even just a booze test of a trace and i get fired with cause. (trace can be a mouthful of mouthwash that is spit out). loose my job, forget about getting another driving job and I can lose my class A also. thus will lose my home truck, and forced to go bankrupt. so if you must do this drug. please do it down wind of me. as it really does give me a headache. but as others here have said, cross a state line, heck maybe just a county line and trouble comes. as you are not rich or famous. so the da will not go easy on you.

hdrider Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Even though a person would have to be pretty reckless to get caught with personal use quantities of edibles we decided that using CBD was a better bet for us. Been doing the CBD oil thing the last 3 years I guess and even though net getting the high if thats what you are after we are getting the benefit's health wise we feel for our particular needs.

hemsteadc Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Just don't give police any reason to stop you and you'll be fine. I've even gone through checkpoints that have dogs and had no problem, and I carry real weed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whj469 Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 I have been RVing with a fiver for a number of years, maybe 20, and have never been stopped by any type of law enforcement. I think like that person above, law enforcement does not want to bother old persons in a RV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Schneider Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) In over 30 years of RVing, I've been pulled over exactly once. It was by an unmarked car on an Interstate just east of St. Louis about 5 years ago on my way to the Sedalia Escapade. When the uniformed officer approached the driver's window he asked for my license and registration, which I gave him, and said "I think you know why I pulled you over". I replied I really didn't, at which point he walked away. The only thing I could think of was wind gusts were blowing the motorhome back and forth in the lane and he thought I was driving under the influence. When he returned he asked me to stand outside the RV, then he asked about twenty different ways if I had any pot or other drugs in the vehicle, "not even a little?". I answered no each time because I don't use, but he was obviously fishing for cause to do a search and seizure. Then he did a walkaround with a drug sniffing dog and asked if he and the dog could enter the RV to continue the search. I declined. He didn't cite me for anything but the ordeal only ended when his supervisor and another officer in an unmarked car arrived about 20 minutes later. After they discussed the situation I was told I was free to go. Maybe it was because I was alone in an older motorhome with CA license plates and fit some profile, who knows?
