What is CBD?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical in the Cannabis sativa plant, also known as cannabis or hemp. Over 80 chemicals, known as cannabinoids, have been found in the Cannabis sativa plant. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the most famous ingredient in cannabis. But CBD is obtained from hemp, a form of the Cannabis sativa plant that only contains small amounts of THC. CBD seems to have effects on some chemicals in the brain, but these are different from the effects of THC, which causes a characteristic “high” feeling. CBD is not psychoactive.¹Laws passed in 2018 made it legal to sell CBD products in the US. The CBD industry is flourishing, conservatively projected to hit $16 billion in the United States by 2025. CBD oil is made by extracting CBD from the cannabis plant, then diluting it with a carrier oil like coconut or hemp seed oil.

Traveling with CBD should pose no issues now. However, if you're traveling with a tincture, be mindful of TSA limits on how much liquid you can carry on an airplane. CBD products can also be mailed, companies that comply with the Bill can ship their hemp-derived CBD products anywhere in the U.S. Also, if the CBD product was third-party tested, it should not appear in a drug test. This is because most CBD products that are third-party tested contain little or no THC.
