I would think not. Federal laws come into play as flying with a still controlled substance under Federal law could constitute interstate transportation. In reality I do wonder in states where marijuana is legal how local police would react if TSA found marijuana on a passenger. I assume the police would tell the passenger they can’t fly with their stash and make them dump it but not arrest them. Add that some states do go as far as to say it’s against state law to take across state lines so I’m not sure. Not an issue to me as Texas hasn’t legalized and wife and I are still subject to random checks as Federal employees so no interest here.
