Holiday Traveling With CBD

Traveling with CBD does not have to be complicated or stressful. We get a lot of questions about CBD oil, but our most common question is this: “Is it legal to travel with CBD?” It’s a complicated topic, but luckily, the short answer is YES, you can travel with CBD.

Before you pack an extra carry-on stuffed to the brim with all of the best CBD products you can find, there are parameters you must double-check before you can comfortably settle in on your holiday jetliner. Below are a few things you need to know about the legality of CBD, and why you should pack a little for your trip back home this Thanksgiving.

What Do I Need to Know About Flying with CBD Products?

If you’re confused about whether or not CBD is legal, you’re not alone. It’s a messy issue that somehow seems to get even more muddled after more laws are passed, dividing state and federal regulations further.

The bottom line is this: When the Farm Bill passed in 2018, it declared CBD legal in all 50 states.[1] Woohoo! Here’s the catch, though: to fully pass muster, the TSA states that the CBD must be derived from hemp (not marijuana) and it must contain no more than 0.3 percent THC.[2] How can you be sure about the levels of THC in your CBD oil, or where it came from? While the label should be a good place to start, what you see is not always what you get. A recent study found that of 84 tested CBD products, only about 30% were labeled correctly.[3] Fortunately, you can rest assured that all Horizon CBD products are properly labeled. We promise that our CBD is 100% hemp-derived, with THC amounts well within the legal limit.
