Flying With Weed - Everything That You Need To Know | Amin Law

With weed being legal in California, more and more people are showing up to airports like the Oakland International Airport hoping to bring their weed along with them.

However, many people may not know that they can still face penalties for attempting to bring weed onto a flight, even though it may be legal in California.

What happens if the TSA catches you with weed? Since marijuana is legal in California, the TSA will likely confiscate the weed should they find it during the screening process. However, they may still contact local authorities if the amount of weed in your possession is too high or if you are not of a legal age to possess it. If caught with illegal amounts of weed, you may face penalties pursuant to §11357 of the California Health and Safety Code.

Section11357 prohibits the unlawful possession of marijuana in California. Adults age 21 and over are allowed to possess up to one (1) 28.5 grams of dried marijuana or eight (8) grams of concentrated cannabis (hashish). Possessing more than these quantities, or any possession by a minor under 21, or any possession at a K-12 school, are all prohibited by the statute.

I’ve attached a table in the bio that summarized the current law and penalties regarding marijuana possession in CA:
