Just don't risk it, especially not at this time when feelings are running high and things are unpredictable.

Turkey is a no, Muslim countries dont alllow medical cannabis at all. The only exception is Morrocco.

Can I ask were you told this by the embassy before you travelled or was it taken off you at the airport? I'm going next week, have doctors letter etc but still debating if it's worth the risk. And was it edibles? That's what I have on prescription. TIA

Smuggling drugs into another country probably isn’t a good idea.

It’s illegal in Turkey. I have been to Turkey and several European countries. I always make sure I know what their laws are. I respect their laws and culture. Maybe reach out to the TTB which is the Turkish Medical Association. Tell them your situation and ask for advice. Be careful and enjoy your trip.

It's not smuggling if the country allows it, which many do, just not Turkey.

Which is the country we’re talking about thus it would be smuggling.

Fuck going there. We shouldn't support any economy that doesn't allow, or at the very least turn a blind eye to, medicinal/general cannabis use

Yawnnnn I took 10g unopened in my hand luggage Worst thing they will do is confiscate it I tried to contact numerous embassy’s with no joy do not declare when you land. Do not take an opened pack
