Can I travel with cannabis in New Jersey?

Cannabis laws vary by location. Here's what you need to know about traveling with cannabis:

Within New Jersey: - Legal to possess up to 1 oz in public - Must be in original dispensary packaging - Cannot consume in public places - Cannot consume while driving (even as passenger)

Traveling to Other States:

Crossing State Lines = ILLEGAL

  • Federal law prohibits interstate transport
  • You could face federal charges
  • Doesn't matter if you're going to another legal state

Flying with Cannabis:

From NJ Airports: - TSA is federal—cannabis is federally illegal - If found, TSA may refer to local law enforcement - NJ cops may not prosecute small amounts, but it's a risk - International flights = definitely don't try

Best Practice: Don't fly with cannabis.

Driving Within NJ: - Keep in trunk or locked container - Original packaging only - Don't consume in vehicle - Driver should be sober

Where You CANNOT Have Cannabis: - Federal property (national parks, post offices) - Airports (past security) - Schools and school zones - Public housing (federal rules) - Rental cars (check policy) - Hotels (check policy)

Traveling TO New Jersey: - Don't bring cannabis from other states - Purchase from licensed NJ dispensary - Verify product is from legal source

The Bottom Line: - Within NJ: Yes, with precautions - Between states: No, never - On planes: No - Internationally: Absolutely not
