Greddie Fibbs Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Good day 420sa community. A few friends and I are taking a domestic flight for the holidays in December. We’d like to take some cannabis with us but we’ve never flown with it before. I understand that it is currently legal to take a small amount of cannabis with you on a domestic flight but I’m still somewhat anxious to do so. If anyone has any experience flying domestically with cannabis I’d like to hear about what the experience was like and if there were any complications. I also have a number of other questions that I’d like help with: 1. Should we keep it in checked luggage or carry on? 2. How should we package it? 3. If we do get stopped by the cops what should we do? 4. How much is too much? Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyCLown Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I have never heard of someone being allowed to take some cannabis with them on a plane. Imagine everyone on the plane taking just a single gram of bud with them, that entire plane is going to be stanky! I personally would try take cannabis with on a plane, perhaps someone else with more knowledge can comment. I know the couriers are stopping and confiscating parcels which contain cannabis, does not make sense that they'd do that but you'd be allowed to take with you on a plane. If it was edibles, you could possibly get away with it, but it would be at your own risk, with bud I do not think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORGANinc. Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 There was provision made in the new bill or Constitutional ruling, not too sure where I read it. You are allowed to fly with cannabis not exceeding 10g if I remember correctly. Doesn't mean everything will go smoothly if you get found out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420SA Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 You are allowed to fly with it. It's on your private person and as the law allows you to carry a certain amount with you at any time, for personal use, the same applies to when you are flying domestically. I did it not too long ago. I think I had about 10g's in my backpack which went through the scanner at security. No issues. Was quite funny, after landing someone opened up the above head stow away compartment with my backpack in and the area immediately stank up You may get the odd ignorant security staff member who thinks otherwise but quickly educate them and take the matter further if necessary. I would definitely keep it in your carry on luggage or in your pocket. If they confiscate for whatever reason when finding it in your checked in luggage, you have no chance of arguing it.

I don't think there is a need for them to state specifically about flight travel. Unless that has been done already. What's on your private person is exactly that, private. It falls in the same bracket as taking cigarettes or booze on board. Also, it's just another mode of transport... if you're allowed to get into a taxi with it then why not a plane... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420SA Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 So to summarise and cover each question: 1. Should we keep it in checked luggage or carry on? Carry On 2. How should we package it? Small jar to keep the smell at bay. Not that it's a major concern. Bank bag will do fine too. 3. If we do get stopped by the cops what should we do? Tell them you have rights. Remind them of the law they should be aware of 4. How much is too much? I wouldn't push with more than 10g's but you should be allowed to travel with more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsyCLown Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Never knew this, pretty awesome. Some flights may end up being really smelly, not in a bad way though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreX Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Airlines are also bleep bleep bleeping eager for business... So I don't think they will give you any shit, as long as you keep it modest and stick to the guidelines the bois in green have suggested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nope Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I've been flying locally with bud for more than 10 years, and never had an issue. My brother had a 1 hitter hitter on the apron while walking to the back of the plane to board. just put it in a Ziploc, and put that into another Ziploc, carry on your person. It's quite nerve wracking stuff so, Stay cool, be calm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
