Is it legal to travel with CBD in your suitcase?

In this article we are going to try to shed light on a topic as complex as traveling by plane with CBD when buying CBD products. In the end it is a product that depends on the legislation of each country, which is why we have divided the article into 3 parts:

Currently in Spain CBD is legal, according to EU regulations no. 639 of 11/03/2014 and no. 1308 of 17/12/2013. But even if CBD is not considered a drug, and is legal, it must respect a series of normal when transporting. From Greenery we explain the legal requirements to be able to travel with cbd calmly and cross the border without problems.

Perhaps, entering an airport with CBD flowers is the most difficult issue. After all, CBD-rich products have the same smell and appearance as those containing high amounts of THC. This can mean that anti-drug dogs, who are not trained to differentiate them, will smell your products and identify them as psychotropic products.

Possession of CBD-rich products can lead to the product being confiscated but nothing more, as the law does not prohibit the possession and transport of legal cannabis inflorescences.

Passengers are advised to bring:

• The receipt that proves the legality of the purchase: the physical or electronic ticket.
• The analysis of the product: you can request it by e-mail by writing to info@greenery420cbd.com referring to the batch number that appears on the product.
• That the product remains sealed.

Do police dogs smell CBD?

Police dogs are trained to detect a variety of substances, including those containing THC, the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. However, its ability to specifically detect CBD (cannabidiol), may be limited.

CBD does not have the same characteristic smell as THC, and it is generally not the primary target of police dogs’ detection. However, some dogs may have been trained to recognize certain components of cannabis, including CBD, as part of a larger training program.

In summary, although some police dogs may detect the smell of CBD as part of their training, their primary focus is usually on detecting substances containing THC, which is the illegal compound in many places.

More and more countries in the European Union are making progress in the legalisation of medical cannabis. Thanks to the Schengen area, citizens can move freely through 26 countries, which has made it necessary to create a law and a certificate to protect patients with cannabis treatments who travel in this area.

In order to bring CBD-rich products in your travel suitcase, you will need to fill out an application form. Although you should forget about organizing your trips at the last minute, as the application takes about 4 weeks to be processed.

The certificate must be signed by a doctor who guarantees that the traveler must carry that treatment with him. You should keep in mind that certificates have a maximum duration of 30 days.

In the vast majority of European countries it is safe to travel with CBD, as long as the products contain less than 0.2% THC, which is the amount considered to be the natural amount present in industrial hemp. This percentage may vary in some countries.

Can I bring CBD gummies on the plane for example?

These types of CBD products, like vapers and oils, are much more discreet than buds and are a discreet and odorless way to transport CBD. It is true that you have to be careful with the regulations of each country as we have already mentioned.

In Spain, the possession of CBD products is not punishable, so you can transport them without any problem. We recommend that when traveling with your “CBD gummies”, or “CBD gummies”, you carry them sealed in their original packaging and if it can be with a product analysis, that the brand provides you, the better.

You can ask us for an analysis carried out by independent laboratories, of each product that proves that our products contain the minimum amount of THC allowed by law.

However, if you are going to travel with cbd to EU countries that are not included in the Schengen area, it is very likely that you will need a medical certificate and a medication passport.

This certificate allows travellers to carry the respective treatments with them, always signed by the issuing country. It may be issued by any Member State of the European Union, and grants, that the user is subject to the laws and regulations of his country and not those of the member country he is visiting.

In the United States , the Transportation Security Administration determined that it is legal to travel with products that contain less than 0.3% THC. Still, it’s true that not all states conform to federal laws, but are governed by state laws.

In countries such as Canada , the legalization of cannabis is more extensive, allowing both medical and recreational use. As such, there is no limit to the percentage of THC in legal CBD products.

But while you might think Canada is the perfect destination for your next vacation, it also has its restrictions. Canada exports medical cannabis to the European Union, but if a European patient tries to enter the country with this type of product, permission is denied, to avoid export and import on a personal level.

Most hotels have very restricted the use of vaporizers or tobacco in their facilities, so using CBD flowers can be an added complication due to the smell, which can easily be confused with that of normal marijuana.

There are certain hotels that declare themselves “cannabis” and allow the use of buds and other cannabis derivatives in their facilities. If you want to know more about the use of CBD in hotels , we recommend that you check out the following article: Can I order CBD from the hotel?

In conclusion, we can say that the most sensible thing to do to bring CBD-rich products to other countries is to inform yourself about that country’s stance towards recreational drugs, cannabis and hemp in particular. Always make sure everything is in order.

And if you still have doubts, you can contact the food agency or government drug regulator of the country where you want to travel.
