Say if some one has a precription for Cannabis and is allowed to have 1

oz
on them at all times while in public could you fly them some place when
they
had their perscription on them? just wondering? if it would be coverd
under
part B of 91.19


At the time that regulation was written, "marihuana" was a common enough
spelling. Even today is it acceptable.

As far as your question goes, assuming the prescription was legal under a
State statute or authorized by a State agency (the federal government

still
is prohibiting all use of marijuana as far as I know, even medical use), I
don't see why it wouldn't be allowed under paragraph (b). Is there some
reason you think it wouldn't be that prompted your question?

The thing I find strange about the regulation is that it basically says

"you
can't carry anything that you're not allowed to have". I wouldn't be
surprised to find that the regulation was a reaction to increasing drug

use
in the US. After all, how hard would it be to write a regulation that
simply says "carriage of any item that the possession of is illegal is
prohibited". Why limit it to drugs at all, if not simply to make some

point
of principle?

Oregon, allows it for medical use. Just wondering what the regs on it was as
I know someone that has a prescription.
