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.”

In 1973, Oregon was the first US state to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of cannabis and was one of the first states legalize its medicinal use in 1998.

The recreational use of cannabis was legalized within the state on 1 July this year.

Transport Security Administration (TSA) officers will not be focused on finding cannabis, officials have said. But if the drug is found they will check passengers tickets to ensure that they are flying within the state.

There are five Oregon destinations which travelers carrying marijuana can fly to from Portland – North Bend, Redmond, Eugene, Pendleton and Medford.

Oregon law states that you must be over 21 to smoke marijuana and that you cannot possess more than an ounce of the drug in public.

Oregonians are permitted to keep up to eight ounces of cannabis in their homes and to grow up to four marijuana plants per household.
