  • Traveling With Marijuana

    Traveling With Marijuana

    If you are traveling with marijuana, here’s what you should know: Despite the nearly 30 U.S. states having passed laws permitting the use and possession of marijuana, in particular medical marijuana, the federal government still criminalizes its use. It is a federal misdemeanor with penalties ranging from six months to a year in jail, a $1,000 fine or both. State governments may only regulate laws within their state lines. Therefore, entering into federal lands such as national parks or taking a federal mode of transportation such as an airplane will subject you to federal laws.

    Traveling by Air

    According to the U.S. Customs and Border protection as well as the TSA website, marijuana is not permitted at all when traveling by plane. Air travel in the United States is regulated by federal agencies, like the Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration and the TSA. Therefore, this makes you subject to federal laws.

    Air passengers are typically screened for safety concerns. If TSA suspects criminal activity, then officials will most likely refer the matter to a local state law enforcement officer. If you are detained for marijuana at an airport or sea port, it has been the practice of most places to allow the state to prosecute the possession in accordance with its laws, instead of referring it to the feds.

    Traveling by Air continued

    This also applies when traveling between states that have legalized marijuana. Flyers are advised to check the airport’s practices. Some airports will check your boarding passes to ensure you will be legal on both states of your trip, others may make you toss your marijuana, the same way as a bottle of water, before passing through security. There may also be amount restrictions in all locations. Travelers are advised to travel with their medical marijuana card and a letter from their doctor at all times.

    Never, ever, travel internationally with a controlled substance, even if you carry a prescription.

    It is important to remember that even though legally purchased marijuana may sometimes go undetected, the general rule is that it is not permitted, period. If you are subjected to an additional search, municipal, county or state law enforcement will use their discretion to charge you criminally.

    Before boarding, check your luggage, carry-ons and clothing pockets to avoid an inadvertent situation. The excuse that you “didn’t know” is rarely acceptable to law enforcement in these situations. Check your local state laws and the laws of any state you wish to travel to with your marijuana.

    Traveling by Sea

    It is not uncommon to see drug-sniffing dogs at sea ports. As with air travel, travelers are advised to take precautions and then some. If you are caught with marijuana abroad, you are bound by the laws of that country and they are usually more severe than in the U.S.

    Simply put, if you don’t want to spend time in a foreign jail, don’t bring marijuana into a foreign country.

    On the Road

    All these same rules apply when traveling by car. Don’t leave the border to a non-marijuana state if you are carrying marijuana. If you pass through a state where marijuana possession is illegal, you will be in violation of that state’s laws as you pass through and if you were stopped and cited, you would be subject to their criminal laws.

    Remember that all 50 states have driving under the influence laws. Just like some prescription medications, marijuana is an intoxicating substance so if you are driving, it may impair you. The amount of marijuana in a person’s system for a driving-under-the-influence charge is low, so know your laws before you drive.

    One final note: it is important to know that there are several parts of the country that are federal sovereigns governed only by federal law, including Washington, D.C. and all the national parks and reservations. Regardless of your home state or your reason for carrying marijuana, you can be charged criminally for possession of a controlled substance.

    If you are cited for marijuana possession, contact an attorney to determine a course of action to resolve your issue.

  • Bimini Islands

    Bimini Islands

    Bimini Islands

    Barely 50 miles off the Florida coast, the Bimini Islands are the closest of the Bahama islands to the U.S. coastline. It is made up of two main islands, North Bimini Island and South Bimini Island, and the many cays that surrounds them. North Bimini’s main town is Alice Town, considered to be the center of the tourist trade in Bimini, with a collection of shops, restaurants, and bars along a road known as “The King’s Highway”. Queens Highway is another major road. It runs parallel to King’s Highway, is almost the length of the island. North of Alice Town is Bailey Town, which is another tourist favorite.

    You can easily hop on a ferry from Miami To Bimini and return the same day, or stay longer if you like. Stay a night or two at one the hotels available on the island, including the Hilton Resorts Bimini. Drive to Alice Town and visit the shops, restaurants and nightclubs there. Despite being a small island, there is never a shortage of places to go and things to see and do in Bimini.

    The ocean surrounding the islands is one of the world’s top big-game fishing spots. Many American fishermen sail to the island to fish, scuba dive and snorkel, also a popular activity in Bimini, as there are many shipwrecks in the surrounding waters.

    Hemingway

    Ernest Hemingway found Bimini to be a source of inspiration. He lived on on the island in the 1930s, and was a guest at the Compleat Angler Hotel. He wrote Islands in the Stream and parts of Old Man and the Sea here. An avid fisherman himself, he fished and trolled the blue offshore waters for marlin, tuna and swordfish. Hearing tales of the spectacular fishing in the Gulf Stream and the legendary warm water that rushes north past the Bahamas also led him to Bimini.

    Bimini Islands History

    The history of Bimini is full colorful tales, legends and drama. Merely 50 miles from the Miami coastline, Bimini is small, with its 1,600 residents residing on North Bimini, leaving South Bimini to stand alone as a quiet, pristine place.

    The Fountain of Youth

    Intriguing tales abound of “Bimini”, a place where there was once a mystic fountain of youth. There are rumors that it was located between North and South Bimini. Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon searched for The Fountain of Youth but never found it.

    Other legends exist of a pool off North Bimini where people with ailments have been cured by the healing waters. It is believed that when the tide goes out, underground tunnels release mineral-rich fresh water that is believed to be healing. This location is called The Healing Hole and it is in a salt-water mangrove swamp.


    Atlantis

    Many rumors exist that the Lost City of Atlantis may be in the waters off the Bimini coast. Divers have found unusual slabs of rock that resemble part of an underwater city. These rocks have sparked much speculation. Since the stones were discovered in the 1960s, scientists and other experts have come here. This has resulted in a variety of unique explanations.

    Today, the Bimini Islands are a favorite place for sport fishermen, who come here for the big game fishing. It was precisely this that brought Ernest Hemingway to Bimini. Other notable names linked to Bimini are civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King who came to Bimini in 1964. Singer Jimmy Buffet, who also wrote one of his books while staying in Bimini.
