🟢 Driving within your legal state: You’re good, just follow local transport laws – including ONLY driving while sober.
⚠️ Driving between legal states: Enforcement is somewhat rare, but this is still technically illegal federally. If it’s legal where you’re headed anyway, you’re probably better off just stocking up after you arrive.
🚨 Airports, national parks, federal land: Always off-limits for cannabis.
Keep products sealed in original packaging
Store them in the trunk or a lockable container
Make sure the quantity is under your state’s legal possession limit
Flying with cannabis is pretty risky, even if you’re traveling between two legal states. Air travel is federally regulated and THC remains a Schedule I substance on a federal level.
That said, TSA is focused on safety, not weed enforcement. According to their website, “TSA security officers do not search for [cannabis]... but if any illegal substance is discovered, TSA will refer the matter to a law enforcement officer.”
This applies to international travel as well. We’ve already noted above that flying with cannabis from a U.S. airport is illegal under U.S. federal law; when traveling between two countries where cannabis is federally legal, those countries also are likely to have laws prohibiting entering and exiting their country with cannabis in your possession.
CBD products with less than 0.3% THC are allowed. For anything else, you’re taking a personal legal risk. If you do decide to try your luck and fly anyway, keep products tightly sealed and avoid anything that smells strongly or could leak.
