Cannabis & Travel: What’s Legal, What’s Not, and How to Stay Safe
Traveling with cannabis can be tricky—even in legal states. Laws vary widely, and what’s fine at home might be illegal just a few miles away. Whether you’re flying, driving, or going international, knowing the rules can save you headaches (and legal trouble).
✈️ Air Travel
- THC products are still federally illegal, meaning you technically can’t fly with them—even between legal states.
- Hemp-derived CBD (under 0.3% THC) is federally legal, but check local laws at your destination.
- Some airports have “amnesty boxes” for disposal before security—use them if you forgot to leave cannabis at home.
🚗 Road Trips
- Never cross state lines with cannabis, even between two legal states—it’s still federally illegal.
- Keep products sealed, labeled, and in the trunk.
- Do not consume cannabis in a moving vehicle—driver or passenger.
🌎 International Travel
- Most countries have strict penalties for cannabis possession, even in small amounts.
- Always research your destination—some places have zero tolerance.
Safe Travel Tips
- Buy locally at your destination instead of bringing products.
- If you must travel with hemp-derived CBD, keep it in original packaging with lab results if possible.
- Be discreet, respectful, and follow the law—it’s not worth the risk.
