What I would tell a patient flying to Belgium
Belgium is the one I want you to read twice, because the restriction here is written into law rather than left to interpretation.
The Royal Decree of 11 June 2015 forbids dispensing cannabis flower. Sativex is the route; flower is prohibited. A Schengen certificate documents what you carry. It does not override a national product ban. That distinction is the whole page.
So carrying flower through Belgium is a real risk even with perfect paperwork, and that includes transit. People assume a layover is a lesser event than a destination. It is not. You are subject to the law of the country whose airport you are standing in.
FAMHP is the federal agency. If your route touches Belgium and your product is flower, the honest advice is to solve that before you fly, not at the gate.
Patient education, not legal or medical advice and not a prescription. Law changes and enforcement varies by officer and by airport. Confirm your exact product, quantity and paperwork in writing with the authority named above and with your own prescriber, and carry the reply.
