You may travel within Canada with your medical cannabis provided that you keep relevant documents (such as your medical document and prescription) on hand with you at all times. Prior to travelling outside of Canada, patients must contact the embassy or consulate of the country they wish to visit and inquire about obtaining permission to bring the medical cannabis with them. Allow plenty of time prior to departure to obtain permission and fill out any documents that may be required. Some countries, such as the USA, do not allow transport of medical cannabis into the country.
