Is CBD oil legal?

When derived from the hemp plant, CBD is legal in all 50 states when the THC contained in the oil is less than .3%. Marijuana-derived CBD is not federally legal. Generally speaking, the hemp plant contains higher concentrations of CBD and this is why it is more commonly harvested for cannabidiol extraction.

Our CBD is derived only from hemp plants that we grow on our Colorado farm using organic practices. Our oil is always tested by third-party independent labs to confirm that it contains less than .3% THC and free of contaminants.

Is it legal to fly with CBD?

This is a common question we get asked. 

Yes, it is legal to fly with CBD products that are hemp-derived and contain less than 0.3% THC under federal law. The 2018 Farm Bill made hemp-derived CBD products with less than 0.3% THC legal at the federal level in the U.S. This means that TSA allows passengers to bring CBD products on flights, as long as they comply with these guidelines.

A few things you'll want to keep in mind:

  1. TSA Policy: TSA primarily focuses on security and safety, not drug enforcement. That said, if they find a substance that appears illegal or suspicious, they may refer it to law enforcement. It's important that your CBD product explicitly states that it is hemp-derived and contains less than 0.3% THC to avoid any possible issues.

  2. State Laws: Although hemp-derived CBD is federally legal, individual states may have their own different regulations regarding cannabinoids. Check the laws of the state you're traveling to, as some states may have stricter rules around cannabis products, even CBD. 

  3. International Travel: Rules around CBD vary widely by country. If you're traveling internationally, be aware that some countries may have much stricter regulations or complete bans on CBD, even if it is hemp-derived. For example, one country might require that the THC be under .2% and anotehr might allow under .3% Always check the laws of your destination before flying internationally with any cannabinoids, whether CBD, CBG or otherwise.

If you're flying within the United States, bringing CBD products that adhere to the federal legal standard (hemp-derived and under 0.3% THC) should generally be fine. The key is to make sure your products are and compliant with these guidelines and their labels clearly state such.

Colorado recently beefed up their labeling requirements and ingestible products must state the amount of THC per serving and per container, as well as the ratio of CBD:THC.
