Traveling with CBD: What You Need to Know Before You Go
Traveling with CBD: What You Need to Know Before You Go
Whether you're heading to the beach, visiting family, or taking a road trip, travel can throw your body out of its normal routine. Hours in the car, long flights, carrying luggage, and sleeping somewhere new can all leave you feeling less than your best.
Can You Travel with CBD?
In most cases, yes. Hemp-derived CBD products containing no more than 0.3% THC are federally legal in the United States. That said, laws can vary by state and country, so it's always worth checking before you travel.
Before you leave:
-
Look up the CBD laws where you're going.
-
If you're traveling internationally, make sure CBD is legal before packing it.
-
Keep your CBD products in their original packaging whenever possible.
-
If available, keep a copy of the product's Certificate of Analysis (COA) for added peace of mind.
Flying with CBD
The TSA allows hemp-derived CBD products that contain less than 0.3% THC. If you're carrying CBD oil or other liquids, they'll need to follow the standard carry-on liquid limit of 3.4 oz (100 mL) or less.
A few simple tips:
-
Leave products in their original containers so they're easy to identify.
-
If you're bringing a larger bottle, pack it in your checked luggage.
-
Keep your daily essentials somewhere easy to reach so you don't have to dig through your luggage.
Road Trips
Long hours in the car can leave your back, shoulders, and legs feeling tight. Keeping a few wellness essentials within reach can make the ride more comfortable.
Our road trip favorites include:
-
3000mg Relief Cream for targeted relief after a long day of driving or walking.
-
1000mg Roll-On Relief Serum for quick, mess-free application whenever you need it.
-
Fruit Chews for an easy, travel-friendly option.
Stick to Your Routine
Travel can make it easy to forget the habits you've built at home. Taking your CBD around the same time each day can help you stay consistent. Setting a reminder on your phone or keeping your products with your toiletries can make it easier to remember.
Pack It the Right Way
A little planning goes a long way.
-
Don't leave CBD products in a hot car for extended periods.
-
Store them in a cool, dry place whenever possible.
-
Use a travel pouch or toiletry bag to keep everything together.
-
Make sure lids are closed tightly before packing to help prevent leaks.
