Planning a trip must be enjoyable. However, offered quickly developing — and often complicated — laws surrounding medical cannabis, numerous patients feel overloaded. Is it alright to utilize legally bought medical cannabis in states where it’s illegal? Can you utilize your medical cannabis card in different states?
CannaMD sorts through the confusion, laying out whatever Florida citizens need to learn about utilizing medical cannabis beyond the Sunshine State.
State vs. federal law
Just like using medical cannabis in property apartments, traveling with cannabis boils down to federal versus state law. Unfortunately, cannabis is still classified as a Schedule I drug (much like heroin, LSD, and ecstasy) — which means selling, buying, and/or possessing the substance is a crime.
Since federal law supersedes state law, this also indicates that taking cannabis across state lines (even if both states allow medical cannabis use) is unlawful.
As lawyer Allison Malsbury discusses:
From a legal perspective, it’s extremely cut and dried. In practice, nevertheless, it’s really uncertain. In practice, the possibilities of feds or the DEA sitting at the border waiting to capture somebody — that’s simply not happening. It’s not useful or worth their time.
However, Americans for Safe Access advises patients:
The best police encounter is the encounter that never ever takes place.
Remember: Crossing state lines with medical cannabis is still a federal offense.
