Travellers flying within Canada will be allowed to pack as much as 30 grams of cannabis. However, some of you might wonder how much is 30 grams of weed?

Watch – This is how much legal pot you can fly within Canada

Those are taking flights within Canada are allowed to pack 30 grams of cannabis since legalization started on Oct. 17, transportation minister Marc Garneau announced in October 2018. Let’s take a look at what 30 grams of marijuana look like.

According to Jett Hansell, the regional manager at Weeds, a chain of cannabis dispensaries, that’s not a small stash. In fact, Jett Hansell can barely hold 30 grams of loose cannabis buds in her two hands.

She said a lot of people roll joints using roughly half a gram of cannabis, so it would take about 60 joints to hit the limit.

To demonstrate what that looks like, Hansell pulled out about 60 to 75 pre-rolled joints and loaded it into her hands. She could barely hold it all, and required assistance to pile the joints, which kept falling between her fingers.

When it comes to loose cannabis buds, the pile is even bigger. Hansell, again, struggled to contain the quantity in both hands.

She said that the strain used for demonstration was an Indica, called Purple OG. She said the shop wasn’t planning to sell the buds because they had dried out a bit — meaning the 30-gram pile appeared a little bigger than it otherwise might have.

So now that you know how 30 grams of marijuana look like, you might ask yourself how long 30 grams would last. Jett Hansel also got an answer for that one.

Hansel claims heavy users will consume more like five to seven joints a day.

“It depends on your nature of travel, too. If you are on vacation, obviously, you might be smoking a little bit more or less, but I would always go for more — like, you want to be safe rather than sorry,” said Hansell.

“I’d go for two weeks, max, with that stash.”
