Will TSA arrest me for weed in my bag?
TSA officers do not search for drugs and are not police — but if screening turns it up, protocol is to refer you to local law enforcement. In airports inside prohibition states, that referral is the real risk.
Can I fly with weed within Canada?
Yes, on domestic Canadian flights within the adult public-possession limit — keep liquid or topical cannabis in the 1 L liquids bag. Never depart Canada (or return) with any amount: crossing the Canadian border with cannabis is a criminal offence, medical use included.
