If you're someone who uses CBD products, you may be wondering if you can bring them with you when you travel by plane. After all, the TSA has very strict rules about what you can and can't bring in your carry-on and checked luggage. So, can you take CBD on a plane? Let's find out.

CBD is short for cannabidiol, and it's a compound found in cannabis plants. CBD can be derived from both marijuana and hemp plants, but it doesn't produce the psychoactive effects that are typically associated with marijuana use. That's because CBD doesn't contain THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, which is the compound responsible for marijuana's mind-altering effects.

CBD has become increasingly popular in recent years as more and more people have begun to discover its potential health benefits. CBD is commonly used to help with anxiety, pain relief, and insomnia. Some people also use it to help with conditions like epilepsy and Crohn's disease.

Can I Bring CBD Products in My Carry-On Luggage?

The TSA has recently updated its policies on flying with cannabis-derived products like CBD oil. According to the TSA website, "products/medications that contain hemp-derived CBD or are approved by the FDA are legal as long as they are produced within the regulations defined by the law under the Agriculture Improvement Act 2018."

 So, as long as your CBD products contain 0.3% THC or less and they were produced in a way that complies with the 2018 Farm Bill, you should be able to bring them with you in your carry-on or checked luggage when flying within the United States. It's always a good idea to check the TSA website before packing your bags to make sure that there haven't been any changes to their policies.

Can I Bring CBD Products With Me When I Travel Outside of the United States?

This is where things get a little bit trickier. If you're traveling to another country—even if it's just Canada or Mexico—you'll need to do some research before packing your CBD products. That's because other countries have their own laws and regulations regarding cannabis and cannabis-derived products.

For example, possession of any amount of cannabis is illegal in Japan, so you would not be able to bring any CBD products with you when traveling there. However, possession of small amounts of cannabis is decriminalized in Portugal, so you would theoretically be able to travel there with your CBD products without any legal repercussions.

It's important to note that even if a country decriminalizes possession of small amounts of cannabis, they may still have restrictions on bringing cannabis products into their country from another country. So, if you're planning on traveling with CBD products, be sure to do your research ahead of time to avoid any potential legal trouble.

Flying With Cannabidiol - The Bottom Line

Now that you know more about flying with cannabidiol, it's time to start packing! Just remember to check the TSA website before your trip and do some research on the laws of the country you're visiting so that you can avoid any potential legal trouble.

Safe travels!
