Can I Travel in Florida with Medical Cannabis?

Can I Travel in State with Medical Cannabis?

YES.     While travel within the state of Florida is allowed, despite widespread belief to the contrary, customers cannot travel from Florida to other states with medical marijuana. Anytime you travel outside Florida with marijuana, whether by plane, train, bicycle, or walking, you’re transporting a federally restricted substance across state lines.

The TSA does not routinely focus on marijuana screening. Despite this, it will likely will be confiscated if found during a search with the matter being referred to law enforcement. Many airlines and airports do not allow cannabis. Travel to other countries is also a risky gray zone. For example, Japan has a zero-tolerance policy for marijuana. Having even small amounts could possibly land you at least five years in jail. We recommend researching your destination for marijuana use before you travel. If you can purchase it there, that is the best solution, if possible. So, while you can travel in Florida with medical cannabis, its good to know the rules.
