Once cannabis is legalized on Oct. 17, Canadian adults will be able to carry up to 30 grams of it in public.

Today, the country’s transportation minister, Marc Garneau, said that Canadians would be able to bring up to the same amount with them on domestic flights.

However, details regarding how it will be taken through security lines has yet to be finalized by the Canadian Air Transport Safety Authority.

Travellers still shouldn’t be taking cannabis, or any products that contain it, on international flights, says Garneau, as that remains illegal.

"As long as the flight is domestic, then people are allowed to bring up to a certain quantity for their personal use," Garneau told reporters in Ottawa on Tuesday.

"However, I would remind Canadians again that, if they are going on flights that cross into the United States or go to other countries, that the rules of that country where they are going are the rules that apply."

Several American states have legalized cannabis, but possession of it is still illegal under U.S. federal law.
