Flying within Canada
B.C. says a person may possess up to 30 grams dried equivalent of non-medical cannabis in Canada, including at airports and on airplanes. This is a possession ceiling, not advice about carrier policies or where cannabis may be used. For screening and carry-on details, check CATSA's current cannabis guidance, and confirm any additional carrier requirements.
Going to another province
Provincial laws differ, including the minimum age and rules about buying and consuming cannabis. B.C. directs travellers to check the destination province or territory. Do not assume a B.C. retail or use rule applies after crossing a provincial boundary. For a B.C.-specific summary of age and possession limits, see the B.C. age and possession guide.
Crossing an international border
Do not bring cannabis into or out of Canada without a Health Canada permit or exemption. The CBSA rule applies regardless of quantity, medical authorization or the destination's cannabis laws. CBD products are included. A domestic possession allowance does not create an international travel exception.
