Can I Travel With Cannabis In Minnesota? - Spring Lake Park Dispensary

Quick Answer

Yes, you can transport cannabis within Minnesota as long as you follow specific rules. Products must remain in sealed containers, stored away from the driver, and you must stay within legal possession limits. However, crossing state lines with cannabis remains illegal regardless of laws in neighboring states.

Within Minnesota

Transport cannabis throughout Minnesota in sealed, original packaging. Store products in vehicle trunk or areas inaccessible to the driver while operating the vehicle.

Sealed Containers

Keep products in manufacturer’s original sealed packaging. Opened containers should be resealed or stored in secondary containers preventing access.

Across State Lines

Federal law prohibits transporting cannabis between states regardless of legality in both states. This includes driving to Wisconsin, Iowa, or the Dakotas.

Airport Security

TSA operates under federal jurisdiction where cannabis remains illegal. Do not attempt to bring cannabis through airport security checkpoints.

Transporting Cannabis in Your Vehicle

Minnesota permits transporting legal cannabis quantities within the state when following specific guidelines. The key principle: cannabis should be inaccessible to the driver during vehicle operation, similar to open container laws for alcohol.

Store cannabis in the vehicle trunk whenever possible. For vehicles without separate trunk compartments (SUVs, hatchbacks), place products in the rear cargo area behind the back seat. Never store cannabis in the glove compartment, center console, or anywhere within the driver’s reach.

Impaired Driving Warning

Driving under the influence of cannabis remains illegal in Minnesota. Law enforcement can charge impaired drivers regardless of THC’s legal status. Effects may persist for hours—plan transportation accordingly and never drive while impaired.

State Border Considerations

Cannabis remains federally illegal, making interstate transportation a federal offense regardless of state laws. Even traveling between two legal states violates federal law. Anoka County residents near state borders should exercise particular caution.

Do not transport cannabis into Wisconsin, even though some cities have decriminalized possession
Iowa maintains strict cannabis prohibition—possession can result in criminal charges
North Dakota and South Dakota have varying cannabis laws but interstate transport remains illegal
Border crossings into Canada strictly prohibit cannabis, with severe penalties possible

Air Travel Restrictions

Airport security checkpoints fall under federal jurisdiction through the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Since cannabis remains federally illegal, bringing any cannabis products through security—including CBD products containing any THC—violates federal law.

Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport follows federal guidelines. If TSA discovers cannabis during screening, they may refer the matter to local law enforcement. Even flying between two legal states doesn’t permit carrying cannabis through airports.

Public Transportation Guidelines

Metro Transit buses and light rail serving the Twin Cities metro area prohibit cannabis consumption onboard. Transport cannabis in sealed containers and refrain from any consumption until reaching private property. Violating these rules may result in removal from transit and potential citations.

For specific questions about transportation laws, consult legal resources or visit Spring Lake Park Dispensary where our staff can provide general guidance and direct you to authoritative sources.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I drive through another state with Minnesota cannabis?

+

No. Transporting cannabis across any state border violates federal law, even if driving between two states where cannabis is legal. This applies regardless of whether you’re passing through or stopping in another state.

What if police smell cannabis in my car?

+

Cannabis odor alone may not justify vehicle searches in Minnesota given legalization. However, officers can investigate signs of impairment. Having sealed, properly stored products helps demonstrate legal compliance during any interaction.

Can passengers consume cannabis while I drive?

+

No. Cannabis consumption is prohibited in moving vehicles for all occupants, similar to open container laws. All products must remain sealed and stored away from occupants during travel.
