Opinons on flying internationally with edibles (Xpost /r/drugs)

I posted this over on /r/drugs but thought you guys might be a little more versed on smuggling / customs laws.

I know your initial thoughts; Horrible idea, Not worth getting caught, etc, etc, and I will heed your warning if that is still the way you feel after reading the below.

I have always flown domesticly with some kind of THC. At first for a while it was bud rolled up into joints stuffed inside the bodies of sharpies. This worked every time, even if my bag was searched.

At some point I decided brining the real flower was a little too risky (no matter how many times i had gotten away with it) so I switched to edibles only.

I have never had a problem with TSA and edibles. I have carried them on (over 2 dozen cookies in a small carry on) and checked them in my bags. Both ways I have never had TSA bat an eye or search my stuff.

In a few months I will be traveling internationally (for Anonymity purposes I wont say exactly where) to Southern / Central America from the United States. I am quite the cannabis cook and have gotten a solid grasp on a gummy bear recipe. My plan was to cook up a batch of these bears (multiple colors and flavors), buy a pack of off brand gummy bears, make a small incison in the top of the bag with a razor blade, empty all of the real bears out, and replace with my homemade bears. I would then seal the incision with a hair straightener and throw them into my bag (carry on or checked, doesnt really matter to me).

My biggest concern is not getting caught with the gummy bears, I don't think it would come to this. But, if they had dogs patroling customs of the counrty I was entering, and they did signal on me, could the dog signaling on me be enough to refuse entry into the country? Even if they don't find anything upon a thorough search?

Thanks for the oppinons / advice guys. I am only considering this because THC is more of a medcine for me at this point and it is a lot easier to dose accuartly with my edibles than to try and find local bud, sneak away, and smoke the exact amount I need without overdoing it.

Main questions:

1: is it safe to fly international with edibles?

2: Is there any chance of them discovering them and catching onto me?

3: If a dog did signal on me could they refuse me entry because of a postive signal but nothing found?

Sounds like a good plan. Is there anything you can coat them with that will seal in the "flavor?" I love chocolate, so I'd make some kind of canna-choco-ball then coat it several times with unmedicated chocolate, or white chocolate. Just brain storming here. Bring a bag of coffee beans, mmm got to make your own fresh brewed coffee. Do some auyhausca (sorry spelling on mobile) ceremony while down there?

Ever seen Locked Up Abroad? I guess edibles is a little safer though..

I've known people who just smuggle an Oz of weed (Flowers) into the really strict countries in Asia with no problem and they also give no fucks. I really don't get how they get away with it.....

Wax and vape pens are the way to go i just put it in the container with my change and wallet. Everyone has e-cigs these days TSA wont even bat an eye at it.
