Travel insurance for cannabis destinations

Most policies don't cover cannabis-related incidents. Check terms carefully.

✈️ At the Airport

NEVER fly with cannabis across borders

Even between legal states/countries. International trafficking charges are severe.
Clean bags and accessories before flying

Remove all residue. Drug dogs can alert on trace amounts.
Know the local airport policies

Some (LAX, DEN) have amnesty boxes. Others prosecute any amount.

🏙️ At Your Destination

Purchase from licensed sources only

Street dealers risk safety, quality, and legal issues. Go legit.
→ Find Licensed Dispensaries
Know the consumption rules

Public smoking is often banned even where cannabis is legal. Use designated areas.
Respect local culture and norms

Not everyone appreciates cannabis culture. Be discreet and considerate.
Don't drive under the influence

DUI laws apply to cannabis everywhere. Use rideshares or public transit.

⚠️ Critical Warning

Cannabis laws vary dramatically by country and change frequently. What's legal in one place can carry years in prison elsewhere. Always verify current local laws before traveling. OFFMAP provides information but not legal advice. When in doubt, don't risk it.
