California Weed Guide for Tourists


California Weed Guide for Tourists Image

Orange County is a major tourist destination, home to Disneyland, Newport Beach, and year-round sunshine. And if you’re planning a visit, you might be wondering: “Where can I buy weed while I’m visiting?”

Let’s break down the facts so you can stay informed, stay compliant, and make the most of your time in Southern California.

Can You Travel with Weed in California?

Yes, if you’re 21 or older, California law allows you to carry up to 28.5 grams of cannabis flower and up to 8 grams of concentrate, including infused products like edibles and prerolls.

Just make sure you follow these guidelines:
– Keep your cannabis sealed and stored in the trunk or glove compartment when driving
– Don’t smoke or consume cannabis inside a vehicle
– Don’t cross state lines, even if you’re heading to another legal state

Can You Fly with Cannabis?

The short answer: No, not legally.

TSA is a federal agency, and cannabis is still illegal under federal law. While TSA isn’t actively searching for cannabis, if they do find it, they may refer you to local law enforcement.

In most California airports, possessing cannabis within legal limits typically doesn’t lead to penalties, but it’s still a gray area and always a risk. We always suggest following all California state laws at all times.

Pro tip: If you’re flying into California, wait until you land and shop locally. Don’t risk flying with cannabis, even from a legal dispensary.

Can You Bring Weed to Disneyland or Other Events?

No. Even though cannabis is legal in California, private venues like Disneyland do not allow it on property, and that includes both THC and CBD products.

Most concerts, festivals, and public events also ban cannabis use on-site. If you’re attending one, be sure to store your cannabis safely back at your hotel or vehicle.
