PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) — Recreational marijuana has been legal here in Oregon for one week and now Portland International Airport has decided to make a big change in its drug policy.
Travelers lining up at the security gates at PDX will notice new signs about the airport's stance on recreational marijuana.
Oregon law says you can travel with a legal amount of marijuana, you just can't take it out of the state, even to Washington.
PDX is allowing travelers to board with the legal amount of marijuana on flights that take off and land within Oregon's borders.
Airport officials said if a TSA agent finds pot on you, they will notify Port Police. Port Police will check to see if you're over the legal limit, check your age and look at your boarding pass to make sure you aren't flying out of the state.
