You can now take weed on a plane that’s if you live in Oregon. Unfortunately smoking weed in public remains illegal and due to non-smoking flights, passengers won’t be allowed to enjoy their cargo on board anyway.

Flyers at Portland’s Airport are allowed to take up to an ounce of marijuana with them on the plane so long their destination is also within the state.

An airport official told KGW If travelers carrying cannabis wish to fly outside of Oregon they will be asked to “go back outside the security check point and store that recreational marijuana in a safe place.”
