San Fran Lets Medical Marijuana Take To Its Skies
Thanks to the TSA, travelers have all kinds of hoops to jump through when it’s finally time to catch your flight. Everyone knows there’s some math formula with the number three and something about one ounce when it comes to the rules regarding liquids and plastic baggies. Well if you have something else that weighs an ounce and comes in a plastic bag you won’t have to do much to get through security. Medical marijuana patients can now pass through the San Francisco International Airport and other Bay Area airports without any issues, or so they say.
As long as you have the proper paperwork you can carry up to eight ounces of marijuana with you. That’s the city’s policy, and it’s up to city police to make the final ruling. The TSA kind of has no authority over the issue, but if we had some healing hooch we’d still probably be a little discrete when going through airport security. The US Department of Justice pretty much told US attorneys to not bother passengers when they are just following the state’s rules and regulations.
This is definitely good news for those who are using marijuana for medical reasons and plan to follow all the rules. However, it’s important to remember where your flight from the Bay Area is headed. If you’re flying to a state that isn’t too keen on the idea of legal marijuana usage—even if it’s for medical reasons—then you could be setting yourself up for a friendly airport drug bust. Just be careful out there with your stash, and to be safe, catch one of those Virgin America flights from SFO to LAX—you’ll be good to go.
