Although you probably know the difference between hemp flower and cannabis, most officials at the airport will not. It often looks the same and smells pretty similar too. Because of this, unless you have a valid medical certificate that you carry with you, it’s just not worth the risk.

You can take hemp oil and other hemp products on airplanes as long as the THC content is 0.3% or less. And this percentage is based on dry weight, which is something a lot of people get confused about. But you don’t need to worry about weighing it up. The content percentage, especially of THC, should be mentioned on the label. And from what I understand, TSA also allows people to carry hemp oil and other hemp products if the FDA approves them. Make sure that you check the published regulations from time to time on the TSA website.

If your CBD product is under the 0.35% THC level, then technically yes. If your hemp product falls within the Farms Act, which legalized the production of industrial hemp, then you should be able to take your CDB oil onto the plane. The hard part about this is it all depends because any cannabidiol or marijuana product is still illegal under federal guidelines. How the law reads today, hemp products that are under the 0.35% THC are legal to consume and be on your person.

It is legal to carry hemp on an airplane. However, this is not to be confused with marijuana products which it is illegal to carry on a flight. If you are traveling to an international destination, be sure to check if hemp is legal before taking it with you.

Read your FDA guidelines before flying. And my next question is it worth it even to try? I mean the hassle, the TSA, and for what? I mean, is it necessary?
With that being said. Hemp is allowed as long as it is medically cleared, and you can prove said clearance. Only a certain amount, though, you can’t be walking through the airport carrying a hemp plant after all.

The cannabis that contains large amounts of THC is still illegal federally.
This gives any low-paid TSA worker a reason to cause a fuss about your hemp product or CBD.
Regardless, Cray is right, and you should ALWAYS check local and federal guidelines before trying to bring anything on the plane.
Products that contain less than 0.3% THC are okay to bring on a plane according to the TSA’s website.
But for some reason, I still think it depends on how a TSA worker feels that day, whether or not they give you a hard time.

Yes. It is legal to carry FDA approved hemp medications domestically on an airplane. It can be taken across state borders as long as it is produced within the regulations defined by the law under the Agriculture Improvement Act 2018. But international rules and regulations are still less clear on traveling with hemp, so you need to research on requirements of the country that you’ll be visiting.

Before 2019, TSA allowed zero cannabis products on airplanes, including hemp, whether the product was in your checked luggage or carry-on bag. Since the national Farm Bill of 2018, however, TSA guidelines regarding cannabis products have changed. You can now bring products or medications that contain hemp-derived CBD or are approved by the FDA as long as those items are produced within the regulations defined under the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018. These products or medications can be brought on an airplane either in your checked luggage or carry-on bag. Marijuana and cannabis-infused products, including some CBD oils, are still illegal to possess on an aircraft.

Yes, but dependent on FDA guidelines. While you cannot bring plain industrial hemp onto a plane, you can bring approved CBD oil. You will need to look at FDA guidelines before doing so so that you do not face legal action against yourself.

One thing I like to always point out to folks is that just by sight, you can’t tell the difference between hemp and marijuana. While marijuana has been legalized, or at least decriminalized, in many places, there’s still a lot of places where it is still under prohibition. That said, I don’t suggest just carrying it around unless you have a need or reason… If you’re a licensed grower, you might get away with flying with it, depending on where you’re flying from and to where you are going… However, if you don’t have a legitimate need and reason, why bother? Is it worth the hassle?

Yes! In May of 2019, the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) finally outlines the rules that cover everything about CBD medical products. Now, anything that is FDA-approved in terms of hemp products and medications that contain CBD is allowed on planes, both in carry-on bags and checked luggage.
