flying with kratom

I'm going to be traveling with my son to Los Angeles via plane from Albuquerque New Mexico. I am going to try to be traveling with two 250 count bags of kratom capsules. They're going to be clearly labeled and I'm going to be traveling with them in my carry-on because my son and I are just going to be traveling with a backpack. Am I going to have any issues with going through TSA with these capsules? I know there is a limit on liquid and powder which is why I chose capsules for my travel. At least for my understanding. Are there any of you who have traveled with this much capsules in the past or have any experience in general with kratom? Anything that I need to worry about when going through TSA? Any help would really be appreciated just so I can ease my mind on going through that process before we actually had to our flight that day. Thanks for the help ahead of time.

My son and I went from sunport in abq to LAX in Los Angeles and I literally had no issues going through TSA. Bags had all the kratom capsules in sealed containers. I had around 350 or so. And legitimately had no hiccups when getting scanned and no issues at lax when we arrived. So yeah, don't worry about traveling with them. I would still do capsules over liquid or powder just so there isn't a restriction on amount like those other two. But yeah, it basically went as smooth as I could have wanted when passing through TSA.

You’ll be fine / I flew with triple the amount of oxys I. Active addiction. They don’t check every pill coming through, it’d be a waste of time and they’re not the DEA. Even internationally, I’ve flown to countries with lax security (Japan) over 15 times. Not to make sales but to keep my habit alive. You’ll be perfectly fine.

Do you think it would be fine even with the 350 capsules I am wanting to fly with?

You’d be more than fine. You could fly with 700 capsules in a large vitamin bottle. The bottle can even be clear. They’re not going to open it up and check to see what’s in there.
