Traveling with CBD is becoming more and more common, but navigating through the rules can seem complicated. Especially when it comes to tasty CBD rubber! The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has developed its point of view, but understanding the current guidelines is crucial to avoid traveliccups. This guide will cover everything you need to know about flying with CBD rubber, oils and other products, deep diving into the details, common questions and real-world scenarios.

Understanding the legal landscape of CBD

Before we enter the TSA specifications, it is important to understand the wider legal status of CBD. CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant. It does not produce the "high" associated with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). The main differentiator is where the CBD comes from and how much THC it contains.

  • Hemp derivatives of CBD:This is CBD extracted from hemp plants that contain 0.3% THC or less (by dry weight). This is federal legal under the Farm Bill 2018.
  • Marijuana derivatives of CBDThis is CBD extracted from marijuana plants that contain more than 0.3% THC.

The TSA is concerned that CBD from hemp is derived from the THC threshold of 0.3%.

TSA & CBD: the official position

The official policy of the TSA, as outlined on their website ("What can I take?"), states that CBD hemp products are generally allowed in up and checked luggage. This includes rubber, oils, tinctures, creams and even pet CBD products.

  • For the bags:You can carry CBD rubber, oils and other products in your luggage without any problems as long as they meet the THC limit of 0.3%.
  • Placed in Baggage:CBD products are also allowed in registered luggage.
  • Liquid restrictions are:For CBD oils and tincture, the standard 3-1-1 liquid rule applies. containers should be 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less and fit in a single, quarter-sized, bright, plastic zip-top bag.
  • The documentation :Although not required, having documentation proving the origin of the product and the THC content of the product (e.g. a Certificate of Analysis (COA) from a third-party lab) can be useful, especially if TSA officials have questions.
  • TSA Officer Discretion:Ultimately, TSA officials have the last word.If they suspect a product violates the rules, they can seize it.
