As the summer travel season heats up, you might have questions about how to travel safely and legally with CBD. Though hemp-derived CBD is legal on the federal level, there are still some loopholes that you should know about when traveling from state to state. Here’s everything you need to know as you hit the road this summer with your favorite CBD products.
Domestic Travel
To keep your traveling as seamless as possible, make sure that your product is clearly labeled. It should include what the product is, THC concentration, etc. If possible, you should print out the lab report in case there are any questions. The THC concentration might be a problem in some areas. Though 0.3% or less is the benchmark, some states don’t want CBD to have any THC. Check with state and local laws before traveling.
The TSA Stance
If you’re traveling by plane, the TSA should allow you to carry your CBD in checked luggage or carry-on bags. Per the TSA, “TSA’s screening procedures are focused on security and are designed to detect potential threats to aviation and passengers. Accordingly, TSA security officers do not search for marijuana or other illegal drugs, but if any illegal substance is discovered during security screening, TSA will refer the matter to a law enforcement officer.”
Marijuana vs. CBD
Travelers should be aware that there’s a difference between marijuana and CBD. Though they both come from the cannabis plant, they vary according to the amount of THC. Users typically consume marijuana for its ability to make them feel high, while it’s quite the opposite for CBD. Be aware of what you’re traveling with to avoid any issues.
