Now that we\u2019re deep into the summer season, a lot of us are preparing to spend our time off work by traveling to faraway locations for some much-needed rest and relaxation.\u00a0 Of course, when we talk about rest and relaxation, cannabidiol (CBD) comes to mind just as much as the thought of being on a long vacation away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.\u00a0 So, it\u2019s no surprise then, that most vacation-goers are wondering how they can properly bring CBD with them onto a plane.<\/p>\n
For those looking to travel with CBD this summer, then this guide is for you.\u00a0 We\u2019ll be covering your questions regarding if and how you can travel with CBD, plus dive into different tips so that your trip can be as seamless as possible.\u00a0 Besides, the last thing you want happening is having your CBD confiscated before boarding.<\/p>\n
Now, here\u2019s the thing about CBD \u2013 the rules and laws regarding it are always changing<\/a>.\u00a0 That\u2019s because cannabidiol is still considered to be a semi-new industry that a lot of lawmakers don\u2019t quite know what to do with it.\u00a0 As of now, CBD is legal on a federal level, which means that it can be bought and used without any problems.\u00a0 But the TSA is a bit behind the times, as they still believe that hemp and marijuana are the same thing, despite scientific evidence that states otherwise.<\/p>\n As you know, cannabidiol can come from either the hemp plant or the marijuana plant.\u00a0 Only CBD that comes from the hemp plant is legal, because hemp only has 0.3 percent THC, which is the psychoactive ingredient that\u2019s far more abundant in marijuana.\u00a0 However, the TSA doesn\u2019t seem to make this distinction, viewing all cannabis products as against their rules.<\/p>\n So, does that mean that having CBD products in your luggage will get you arrested?\u00a0 Well, not exactly.\u00a0 The TSA just doesn\u2019t really care all that much about substances that they deem restricted, believe it or not.\u00a0 And, there\u2019s a really good reason for that.\u00a0 The TSA\u2019s job is to keep you safe, not get you arrested.\u00a0 So, they\u2019re not really inspecting every substance that you bring, but, rather, looking for dangerous objects that can harm others.<\/p>\n However, because laws and regulations can change, it\u2019s always a good idea to check the latest TSA guidelines and ensure your CBD products are legal in both your departure location and destination before traveling. \u00a0Additionally, if you’re traveling internationally, you need to be aware of the laws regarding CBD in the destination country, as they can vary significantly.<\/p>\n People choose to travel with CBD on planes for various reasons, primarily centered around its potential benefits (some based on scientific data, and some based strictly anecdotally)<\/a>, such as the following:<\/p>\n Now that you understand when it comes to safely bringing CBD on a plane and likely get through without any problems.\u00a0 Still, some agents remain harsher than others, so follow these tips below to make sure that you don\u2019t get your CBD product(s) taken away.<\/p>\n Since 9\/11, the TSA\u2019s rules about how you can pack your items became far stricter.\u00a0 Of course, this is to keep us safe.\u00a0 And, it means that you have to abide by their rules, or else you may not be allowed on a plane, and they make take your items away from you.\u00a0 So, treat CBD like you would any other product that you pack, and store it according to the guidelines posted on the TSA\u2019s website.<\/p>\n If you end up with a particularly suspicious TSA agent, they just may be concerned about whether or not your CBD is, in fact, CBD.\u00a0 To make sure that your CBD doesn\u2019t raise any red flags, bring paperwork if you can.<\/p>\n It’s advisable to keep CBD products in their original packaging. \u00a0Also, carry lab reports or a certificate of analysis (COA) that verifies the THC content and purity of the product. Again, this can help in clarifying any questions security or law enforcement might have.<\/p>\n If your CBD product is in liquid form, like oils or tinctures, it must comply with the TSA\u2019s liquids rule. This generally means the container must not exceed 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters), and it should be stored in a clear, resealable plastic bag along with other liquids.\u00a0 So, if you\u2019ve got to pour it from its original bottle to a smaller bottle, then make sure you do all of this.<\/p>\n Ensure that the CBD product contains less than 0.3% THC if traveling within the U.S., as per federal law. \u00a0Products that meet this standard are generally considered legal under the 2018 Farm Bill.<\/p>\n Vaping CBD on a plane or in an airport is strictly forbidden and failing to follow this rule will likely result in a huge fine.\u00a0 So, resist the urge to vape CBD before you get onto a plane, or while you\u2019re in flight.\u00a0 We know that flying can be anxiety-inducing, so if you want to have some CBD, in order to relax before the flight, try an edible or a tincture instead.<\/p>\n Be extremely cautious when planning to travel internationally with CBD. \u00a0Many countries have strict drug laws that might not differentiate between CBD and more restricted substances like cannabis.<\/p>\n TSA agents are always on the lookout for suspicious behavior, and again, this is because their job is to keep you safe.\u00a0 So, while you\u2019re traveling with CBD, make a point to avoid doing anything that can alarm the agents around you.\u00a0 Basically, be polite, don\u2019t appear agitated, follow directions and make eye contact when necessary.\u00a0<\/p>\n Hence, we totally understand that having CBD by your side as you take flight can be very helpful.\u00a0 Of course, when it comes to cannabidiol, make sure that you follow all TSA guidelines so that it doesn\u2019t get confiscated.\u00a0 And, enjoy your travels with your favorite Kingdom Harvest CBD products<\/a>.\n <\/div>\nWhy Do Some People Travel with CBD on a Plane?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
