Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. THE 2018 Farm Bill signed into law in December 2018 legalized CBD that is derived from hemp and contains no more than 0.3% THC. CBD's legality is complex and depends on multiple factors including the source of the CBD (derived from hemp or marijuana), it's THC content, and local or national legislation. Currently, every state in the US allows some form of CBD usage, while in other states it is legal with some restrictions. Check your local laws for restrictions before purchasing or using CBD products.

DOMESTIC FLIGHTS According to the TSA Marijuana and certain cannabis infused products, including some Cannabidiol (CBD) oil, remain illegal under federal law except products that contain no more than 0.3% THC on a dry weight bases or that are approved by the FDA. While federal law allows hemp-derived CBD, some states have stricter laws. Idaho, Nebraska, and South Dakota have more restrictive CBD laws, so flying into or out of those states could pose some issues. Keep CBD products in their original packaging to show compliance with the THC limit if questioned. INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS International laws vary widely, and the legality of CBD can change from country to country or even withing countries for layovers. Always check the CBD laws of your destination and any country with layovers. Even if you are legally compliant there's a risk of misinformed TSA agents or customs officials causing delays or confiscation. For international travel, the safest option might be to avoid bringing CBD or to purchase it legally at your destination.

These effects are more about bringing the body back to a state of balance or homeostasis rather than inducing euphoria or altered perception. Always check product labels and certifications to ensure what you're getting is indeed CBD with 0.3% or less amounts of THC.
