BIRD TALK

Medical marijuana use is legal in Canada, but not in all of the states. When we cross into the U.S., I do not bring any form of CBD (which I have registered to use) with me. However, I have just been issued a Medical Marijuana Use ID card by the state of Florida. When I return home to Canada, I am crossing the Canadian border. Can I bring my CBD (purchased in Florida) across our Canadian border without any complications?

Ed.: No! No! No! Under the Cannabis Act, transporting cannabis across the Canadian border in any form is illegal; this includes any oils containing THC or cannabidiol (CBD) regardless of how much cannabis you are travelling with, whether you are authorized to use cannabis for medical purposes in any form (including cannabidiol – CBD), or if you are travelling to or from a municipality, state or country in which cannabis has been legalized or decriminalized. So don’t take any chances.
