Yes, you can fly with CBD as long as it is pure hemp-derived and contains THC under the legal limit of 0.3%. If you carry something other than CBD gummies, such as cream or liquid, in your carry-on, it must be under three ounces (3 oz). If you travel with CBD vape pens, you can only carry it in your carry-on, not checked baggage.
While you can travel on a plane with CBD, learn about your state laws. Also, your pass depends on your TSA officer. If they get it wrong, they will confiscate your CBD. Only a few states allow carrying CBD for medicinal use. South Dakota, Nebraska, and Idaho do not legalize flying with CBD.
We recommend checking all international laws before reaching the airport with CBD. Most countries, including Armenia, Bolivia, and Singapore, prohibit CBD and consider it illegal.
TSA Guidelines/Conditions for Carrying CBD on the Plane
According to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), you can fly with FDA-approved or hemp-derived CBD oil. The product should contain 0.3% or less THC, which is the legal requirement. If you buy our CBD products or from another reputable company, you have it covered because all our products are legal.
However, not even the TSA can instantly determine the CBD content in your product because there is no on-site testing. So, when you decide to fly with CBD carts, edibles, and oil but worry about them getting confiscated, print off the official test report or the certificate of analysis (COA) to show the amount of THC. You can find these lab test results on every product page.
What Is CBD: Uses, Benefits, and MoreChoosing the Right CBD for Traveling
You can not do something different with CBD products just because of traveling. However, to avoid worrying about airport regulations, choose edibles or subtle products like CBD capsules or soft gels instead of liquid. Also, ensure the product is Farm Bill compliant and contains no more than 0.3% THC.
Shop CBD Products
Anybody will hardly check if you have regular oil, skincare products, or CBD oil with you. So, don’t look strange acting like you have something to hide. Keep it above like regular products instead of hiding it deep. Remember to keep the oil in your carry-on so that you can show the documents if necessary instead of becoming part of an embarrassing scene.
How Much CBD to Fly With?
TSA did not specify the exact weight, volume, quantity, or amount of federally permitted CBD products that you can carry on a flight. They do, however, state that liquids (such as CBD oil, vape fluids, and topical CBD products) need to be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters. In addition, those products need to be contained in one quart-sized bag.
Will You Get in Trouble for Taking CBD Before Flying?
It’s highly unlikely you’ll get into trouble having CBD in your system before a flight, even if your destination state has banned CBD. Here’s why.
CBD with less than 0.3% THC rarely results in noticeable physical or psychological effects. Also, it’s against the law to force someone to submit to any type of drug test without an immediate cause.
Even when you do produce a urine specimen (or sample of any body fluid or tissue), it's not as probable that you would come up marijuana-positive simply because you ingested a drop of CBD some time earlier.
Can You Consume CBD Inside the Plane?
Because federally legal CBD can be carried in a carry-on, it is known that it's safe to consume it when the plane is boarding or airborne. Yet airline policies decide if CBD can be used while on board.
As America has multiple airlines, it's best to research beforehand before getting on a specific airline and using CBD within the plane. Certain airlines have certain regulations regarding the use of CBD while a passenger is on board their plane.
Overall, here are some useful tips when intending to use CBD within the plane:
Try not to use any CBD product within the plane as much as possible.
If the airline is permitting it, be discreet. Gummies are less apparent than vapes and CBD oils.
Wrapping Up
All things considered, the safest option is simply to not bring CBD when flying domestically or internationally. But if, for whatever reason, taking CBD is part of your flight routine, always comply with TSA regulations, airline policies, and the specific state or nation's CBD laws at your destination.
Another observation to make is buying a CBD product properly labeled with a COA to boot. Ensuring those two items are in place will serve your interests if you happen to get stopped at the worst possible moment. The Hemp Doctor's 100% federally compliant CBD products satisfy those requirements. So go ahead and buy one now and enjoy a hassle-free flight!
