With a wide range of cannabis policies, even between states where recreational use is allowed, it can be legally risky to travel with weed. What’s more, it’s technically illegal to transport weed between states, as federal law has authority when crossing state lines. Similarly, the federal government manages airport security, and agents must report drug violations to law enforcement. However, Transportation Security Administration agents are predominantly focused on ensuring safety aboard airplanes and don’t actively search for cannabis or other drugs.
