What stinks is that I recently found out that a medical weed card isn’t a get out of jail free card.
- This means that you can’t flash it at the airport and take it on a plane.
I really should have googled that before traveling. I am a medical weed patient in my state. I was flying to another medical cannabis state. I brought my card and my cannabis products. I figured I was good to go. I got flagged immediately in security and talked to the guy there for hours. I tried to explain that I had the card and it was all above board. Apparently you can’t travel with cannabis, medical or not. You can’t go over state lines even if they are both medical weed states. So I had the option of turning around and going home or pitching all my products in the garbage. I lost so much medical weed that day. I didn’t even bother to replace them in the other state since I wouldn’t be able to bring them back. I feel like medical cannabis should be allowed on planes. You can take prescription pills, icy hot and all other kinds of medical devices. A CPAP is huge and is considered medical equipment. What is my tube of cannabis cream going to do to anybody? I don’t even get high from it! Well learn from me if you are a medical weed patient. They are not lenient at all in airports and you will lose a lot of product.
