Glass bottle for medicines

[Nice hymer]

One of our group will be carrying a small medicine bottle like this.

Is this kind of glass permitted or could it potentially be confiscated?

Would we be able to buy on site?

 

Thanks in advance!

If they find it, more than likely yes.

If it's a clearly prescribed medicine, you might be fine otherwise for your friends peace of mind, it may be worth looking into getting a plastic dropper bottle.

Was thinking of taking a similar small glass thing of CBD oil.

I think if they just stick it in a sock or something and bury it in the bag it's unlikely they will see it.

Mainly on the lookout for wine/beer bottles etc.

So I suppose it could be potentially confiscated but might be ok if you explain what its for and quite unlikely it would be seen in a basic search.

Hello LSD.

Can they decant it into a plastic dropper bottle? I bet eBay or Amazon sell them. Or a plastic bottle with a lid and a separate plastic pippette?  Take a photo of the original packaging or a video of the decanting if you're worried about being challenged on its contents. Or just hide it better if it's not something prescribed…

If there's no way it can be transferred to plastic and they can't live without it then can they reduce the harm if it does break? I'd be tempted to wrap it in duct tape so that if it breaks at least some of the glass is held together. You could also keep it inside a sturdy zipper bag made of cloth rather than keeping it in a sandwich bag or loose.

I figured being straight up legit and not decanting was the best option.

Once it's in a plain bottle I can see why folk might think it was LSD or similar.

Might just stash it to be on the safe side...

Prescription medication should be kept in the dispensary bottle to identify what it is and who it is prescribed to. It’s not recommended to decant it.

Take your prescription with you . My insulin comes in glass vials . That isn’t getting taken off me .

I take gummies to the festival instead of oil. I'd rather not take glass.

Out of interest does that need to be at a certain temperature,  and if so how do you achieve that
