Can You Fly Out Of Michigan With Weed?

The short answer? Kind of.

According to Fox News, TSA recently updated its guidance on medical marijuana, which has a lot of travelers wondering if bringing cannabis through airport security is suddenly allowed.

Not exactly.

TSA agents are focused on security threats, not marijuana. But if something gets flagged during screening, local law enforcement can still get involved. Confused? Yeah, you're not alone.

What Medical Marijuana Patients Need To Know Before Flying

If you're traveling with medical marijuana, experts recommend keeping everything in its original packaging and properly labeled.

They also suggest waiting until you reach your destination before using any cannabis products.

I probably wouldn't recommend trying a new edible or stronger dose while you're sitting at the airport or crammed into a middle seat at 35,000 feet. Yeah, not a great idea.

Can You Travel Internationally With Marijuana?

Flying within the U.S. is one thing. Taking marijuana across international borders is another.

Even if cannabis is legal where you're headed, experts say it's best to leave it at home when traveling overseas.
