Your Definitive Guide for 2023</h3> <h4>Introduction</h4> <p>One question echoing in the minds of cannabis enthusiasts nationwide is, “Can you fly out of LAX with weed?” This article serves as your most up-to-date guide on this perplexing issue, breaking down what you need to know about the rules, the risks, and the often contradictory policies at play.</p> <h4>The Legal Landscape</h4> <p>Let’s be real for a second: cannabis is not federally legal. Despite California’s progressive stance on the herb, federal regulations throw a wrench in your travel plans. While the LAX <a href="https://www.flylax.com/lax-marijuana-policy">policy</a> permits weed on airport premises, TSA, being federal employees, are bound by federal laws.</p> <h4>The LAX Policy: A Closer Look</h4> <p>LAX’s official stance, as of January 2018, allows passengers over 21 to carry up to 28.5 grams of marijuana and 8 grams of concentrated marijuana. This makes the airport a unique place where state law actually holds some sway. But note, the liberal policy halts the moment you reach TSA.</p> <h4>TSA Rules: Federal Law Reigns Supreme</h4> <p>TSA focuses primarily on security threats but will report any cannabis they discover to airport law enforcement. Their policy is uniform across the U.S. So even if you’re flying between two legalized states, the federal law could still apply.</p> <h4>Destination Matters</h4> <p>Traveling to another cannabis-friendly state? You’re likely in the clear. But be cautious about international trips or states with draconian drug laws. You might just end up in hot water, and no U.S. policy will save you there.</p> <h4>Personal Stories: Reddit Realities and Beyond</h4> <p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskLosAngeles/comments/szz4hl/flying_out_of_lax_with_a_cart/">Reddit</a> <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskLosAngeles/comments/szz4hl/flying_out_of_lax_with_a_cart/">is teeming with stories</a> of travelers sailing through TSA checkpoints with personal amounts of cannabis. These anecdotes, however, should not embolden you to flout the law. Always remember, carrying cannabis through TSA is a gamble.</p> <h4>Conclusion</h4> <p>Navigating the nuanced world of flying with cannabis out of LAX is tricky. While LAX’s policy offers some leeway, it’s essential to remember that federal law still trumps all when you hit the TSA checkpoint. Your safest bet? Leave your stash at home and explore local offerings at your destination.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com/is-it-legal-to-fly-with-weed-out-of-lax/">Is It Legal To Fly With Weed Out of LAX?</a> appeared first on <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com">Black Cannabis Magazine</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/is-it-legal-to-fly-with-weed-out-of-lax/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">198542</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Online Cannabis Ordering: Florida Appeals Court Sides with Leafly</title> <link>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/online-cannabis-ordering-florida-appeals-court-sides-with-leafly/</link> <comments>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/online-cannabis-ordering-florida-appeals-court-sides-with-leafly/?noamp=mobile#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Hazey Taughtme]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 12 Aug 2023 03:54:29 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Industry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Law]]></category> <category><![CDATA[NEWS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[1st District Court]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cannabis regulation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cannabis sales]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Department of Health]]></category> <category><![CDATA[digital sales]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dispensing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Florida]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Judge Van Wyk]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Leafly]]></category> <category><![CDATA[medical marijuana]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mmtc]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Online Ordering]]></category> <category><![CDATA[state law]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://blackcannabismagazine.com/?p=198201</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Florida’s Battle Over Digital Cannabis Sales The age of digitalization is not just changing how we shop for clothes or gadgets; it’s also altering the landscape of medical marijuana sales.

Florida, a state known for its sun, beaches, and now, a contentious court case, finds itself at the center of this transformation.</p> <h3><strong>A Twist in the Tale</strong></h3> <p>Last Wednesday, a pivotal turn occurred. The 1st District Court of Appeal, consisting of a three-judge panel, <a href="https://health.wusf.usf.edu/health-news-florida/2023-08-10/appeals-court-backs-ruling-in-case-on-third-party-medical-marijuana-ordering?_amp=true">upheld</a> an administrative law judge’s ruling that came out in favor of Leafly Holdings, Inc., a prominent online cannabis ordering site.</p> <h3><strong>Van Wyk’s Insightful Judgment</strong></h3> <p>Judge Suzanne Van Wyk’s earlier verdict highlighted the Florida Department of Health’s oversight. In 2021, the department attempted to utilize an “unadopted rule” to bar third-party online sites from processing patient orders for medical marijuana. Both the appellate court and Van Wyk found this move questionable.</p> <h3><strong>Leafly’s Role in Online Cannabis Sales</strong></h3> <p>What does Leafly do? Patients browse available medical marijuana products on their platform, selecting items to their online carts. <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com/leafly-cuts-journalism-department-and-announces-layoffs-amid-challenging-cannabis-industry/amp/">Leafly</a> then informs the medical marijuana treatment centers (MMTC) of these orders, later notifying patients when their orders are prepped and set for pick-up. The actual distribution of orders, however, remains with the state-licensed MMTCs.</p> <h3><strong>A Controversial Memo</strong></h3> <p>In February 2021, the Florida Department of Health released a memo that shook the cannabis industry. The memo signaled that online services like Leafly violated state law. Specifically, a law that forbids operators from contracting for services directly tied to the cultivation, processing, and dispensing of cannabis.</p> <h3><strong>The “Dispensing” Dilemma</strong></h3> <p>A central <a href="https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2021/08/17/e-commerce-company-challenges-florida-pot-restriction/?outputType=amp">argument</a> unfolded around the term “dispensing.” While Leafly acts as an interface showcasing products and conveying order details, it doesn’t directly handle the product. The question then arises: Does Leafly’s relationship with MMTCs fall within the state’s legal boundaries or not? This debate about the true essence of “dispensing” challenges the Department’s interpretation and the potential necessity of its regulation on Leafly’s operations.</p> <h3><strong>In Conclusion</strong></h3> <p>The future of online cannabis ordering in Florida and beyond remains on uncertain grounds. As digital platforms and traditional regulatory mechanisms clash, the outcome of this case could set a precedent for future legal battles in the realm of online cannabis commerce.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com/online-cannabis-ordering-florida-appeals-court-sides-with-leafly/">Online Cannabis Ordering: Florida Appeals Court Sides with Leafly</a> appeared first on <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com">Black Cannabis Magazine</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/online-cannabis-ordering-florida-appeals-court-sides-with-leafly/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">198201</post-id> </item> <item> <title>420 Fest Takes Missouri by Storm with Wiz Khalifa, Joey Bada$$, Berner, Smoke DZA, and Chevy Woods</title> <link>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/420-fest-takes-missouri-by-storm-with-wiz-khalifa-joey-bada-berner-smoke-dza-and-chevy-woods/</link> <comments>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/420-fest-takes-missouri-by-storm-with-wiz-khalifa-joey-bada-berner-smoke-dza-and-chevy-woods/?noamp=mobile#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Hazey Taughtme]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 12 Feb 2023 01:52:03 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[NEWS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[420 Fest]]></category> <category><![CDATA[alcohol]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Berner]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cannabis brands]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cannabis Village]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Chevy Woods]]></category> <category><![CDATA[featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Joey Bada$$]]></category> <category><![CDATA[marijuana]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Missouri]]></category> <category><![CDATA[music festivals]]></category> <category><![CDATA[recreational marijuana]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Smoke DZA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[state law]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ticket sales.]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Wiz Khalifa]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://blackcannabismagazine.com/?p=187624</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>420 Fest is set to take place in Missouri and promises to be a unique experience for music and cannabis enthusiasts alike.

This innovative twist on music festivals promises to provide a unique experience for attendees, who will be able to enjoy their favorite music while also indulging in their favorite strains.</p> <h5>Abiding by State Law</h5> <p>Besa Hospitality Group (BHG) President Joey Pintozzi assures that the festival will abide by state law, which prevents alcohol and marijuana from being used in the same place. The Cannabis Village will only allow people 21 and older inside and there will be strict controls in place to ensure that these limits are respected.</p> <p>“It’s very controlled,” says Pintozzi. “You can free flow back and forth, freely, you just can’t drink in the designated cannabis consumption areas, and vice versa with the alcohol.”</p> <h5>Expanding Cannabis Brands and Products</h5> <p>The goal of the festival is to give artists a unique platform to expand their cannabis brands and products in a unique space. Pintozzi hopes to announce the artists who will perform in the next few days or weeks, but promises that the lineup will be exciting and diverse.</p> <p>“We’re supplying a platform that you can’t find in a lot of places in the United States right now even though everything’s moving that way,” says Pintozzi.</p> <h5>Ticket Sales Start Friday, February 17</h5> <p>Tickets for 420 Fest go on sale Friday, February 17, so mark your calendars and get ready to enjoy the ultimate music and cannabis experience. Whether you’re a fan of Wiz Khalifa, Joey Bada$$, Berner, Smoke DZA, or Chevy Woods, you won’t want to miss this festival.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com/420-fest-takes-missouri-by-storm-with-wiz-khalifa-joey-bada-berner-smoke-dza-and-chevy-woods/">420 Fest Takes Missouri by Storm with Wiz Khalifa, Joey Bada$$, Berner, Smoke DZA, and Chevy Woods</a> appeared first on <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com">Black Cannabis Magazine</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/420-fest-takes-missouri-by-storm-with-wiz-khalifa-joey-bada-berner-smoke-dza-and-chevy-woods/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">187624</post-id> </item> </channel> </rss> <!-- Performance optimized by W3 Total Cache.
