The 30g Rule Applies at Airports

Carry-On vs Checked Bag: Which Is Better?
Carry-On Pros
- Less risk of temperature exposure
- Lower chance of damage
- Vape batteries must go in carry-on
Checked Bag Pros
- Discreet storage
- Less need to remove at security
If travelling with products from the Cannabis Hub flower collection or compact hash products, sealed packaging is best practice.
Flying With Vape Pens & Cartridges
Airlines require:
- Lithium batteries in carry-on only
- Devices powered off
- Cartridges properly sealed
If you’re carrying products from the Cannabis Hub concentrates section, double-check concentrate weight (7.5g max equivalent).
Edibles on a Plane: What You Need to Know
Yes, edibles are allowed.
However:
- Liquid edibles must follow 100ml liquid restrictions
- 450g edible product equals 30g dried limit
Many travelers prefer ordering cannabis edibles online in Canada ahead of departure to avoid airport purchases.
Where You Cannot Use Cannabis
You cannot consume cannabis:
- In airport terminals
- On aircraft
- In airport smoking areas (unless province allows and explicitly designated)
Biggest Flying Mistake to Avoid
The #1 mistake:
Forgetting cannabis in your bag when flying internationally.
Even a domestic connection that routes internationally can cause serious legal trouble.
Never cross a border with cannabis.
Conclusion
Flying with cannabis in Canada is legal — but limits matter.
Always:
