Under federal law, marijuana is still considered dangerous and a schedule 1 substance. Marijuana remains illegal to fly within carry-on or checked luggage. It is also illegal to transport cannabis across state lines, even if you’re traveling to and from states that have legalized medical or recreational marijuana policies

​Feds Still Jail More People for Cannabis Than Heroin
Section 812 of Title 21 of the U.S. Code, the Schedule of Controlled Substances makes no distinction between a legal state, a medical state, or an illegal state. Violating this section is a federal crime and could earn you a drug trafficking charge, even for the lowest tier of cannabis.
For the possession of:

• 1 kilogram or less of hash oil
• 10 kilograms or less of hashish
• 1 to 49 cannabis plants
• Less than 50 kilograms of cannabis flower

The penalties are:

• 1st offense: up to 5 years in federal prison and a fine of $250,000 to $1 million
• 2nd offense: up to 10 years in federal prison and a fine of $500,000 to $2 million

Basically, it doesn’t matter if it’s a gram or 50 kilograms of cannabis–the penalty remains the same.

No matter how you choose to ingest marijuana, take it slow at first; do it socially; and have fun  :)

We're in the middle of a cannabis revolution. As of now, Washington, D.C., and nine other states have legalized cannabis for recreational use, and 29 states have passed laws that make it legal for medical purposes. CBD edibles and cannabis-based self-care and beauty products are flying off the shelves as the nation redefines the reputation of the plant itself and, maybe more significantly, the people who take advantage of its properties.
This has led to a surge of interest in how cannabis works in the body.
