You’ve chosen the destination, purchased the plane tickets and now your vacation is officially in the books! But can your Cannabis Life Delta 9 gummies come with you? For those who count on these THC-infused gummies to help alleviate stress, especially during travel, being fully equipped with TSA policy knowledge can create peace of mind and allow consumers to travel safely, compliantly and comfortably. Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived THC products containing less than 0.3% THC by dry weight are federally legal, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re allowed everywhere. Follow along to learn about the dos and don’ts of traveling with Delta 9 gummies.
Let’s Break it Down: What are Delta 9 Gummies?
Delta 9 THC is the primary psychoactive component present in the hemp plant. While there are over a hundred that have already been discovered, Delta 9 is the most widely recognized for the “high” it is known to induce. Once extracted, this individual compound can be infused into delicious products such as gummies, creating the THC edibles consumers know and love. And because of their discreetness and portability, these gummies are a top choice for travelers seeking a little extra relaxation.
Federal Rules for Flying with Delta 9 Gummies
To comply with the federal law, you must ensure your edibles of choice are hemp-derived rather than marijuana-derived. Though hemp and marijuana are both varieties of the Cannabis sativa plant, hemp has a lower THC content when compared to marijuana, making the cannabinoid legal.
Because the 2018 Farm Bill specifically addresses the legality of hemp products, this is the only cannabis derivative consumers may not get flagged for when brought on a flight (within strict 0.3% by dry weight parameters), making marijuana-infused gummies federally illegal to fly with. Even if your Delta 9 gummies are hemp-derived, if they are not FDA compliant and get flagged, they will be classified as marijuana and deemed federally illegal under the Controlled Substances Act.
TSA agents prioritize safety and security first and foremost, so hemp-derived edibles may not be on their radar. However, if these cannabis gummies are located during a standard screening and are deemed non-compliant, they may be reported. This is why it is crucial to choose hemp-infused Delta 9 gummies that clearly state the amount of THC per bottle as well as their COAs. This way, TSA is able to clearly discern the gummies are safe and legal. It is stated on the official TSA website that “Marijuana and certain cannabis infused products, including some Cannabidiol (CBD) oil, remain illegal under federal law except for products that contain no more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis or that are approved by FDA”. This call out reinforces the importance of traveling only with clearly labeled, federally compliant Delta 9 gummies derived from hemp.
Are Delta 9 Gummies Legal in Your Departure and Destination States?
It is important to understand that although hemp-infused Delta 9 gummies are legal at the federal level, this doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t get marked by TSA, as your specific arrival or departure state may have different legal regulations, so it is important to be familiar with individual state laws. Be sure to research the hemp-laws of the states you plan to travel to and from.
