Between their carry-ons and checked bags, passengers are able to have 30 grams of weed on domestic flights. However, that’s not the case when travelling outside the country.

He also reminds people, like alcohol, consuming cannabis on airport property is prohibited.
“You’ll be treated the same way as if you crack open a beer out on a front curb.”
Recreational marijuana becomes legal across Canada on Wednesday.
