Bringing your favorite cannabis and Delta-8 products on the road with you can be a blast. Flower, edibles, and other cannabis goods are fun to enjoy solo or with friends while you travel. Plus, the powerful high that you get from hemp-derived products can take the edge off of that dreaded traveling fatigue.

However, there are some state and federal laws that come into play when it comes to getting on a plane with cannabis and Delta-8.

Knowing these rules and regulations for bringing cannabis with you on a flight will help you avoid issues with TSA agents and other potential problems.

Thankfully, Delta-8 THC products are federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill, given that they contain no more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis.

If you have a different type of cannabis product that also meets this standard — say Delta-9, CBD, or THCa that contains no more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis — you’re also in the clear to stow it in checked luggage or a carry-on bag.

That’s the short answer, but there are some other factors to consider and some additional questions that you may have.

Here are Mood’s answers to some of the most common questions about flying with cannabis and Delta-8.

Is It Legal To Fly With Delta-8?

In most cases, yes — Delta-8 THC is permitted for air travel, with some exceptions.

This is primarily because TSA checkpoints and other secure flying areas operate under federal jurisdiction, and Delta-8 meets the requirements for general airline rules regarding cannabis.

That said, once you reach your destination and exit TSA, you’ll want to check the local and state laws surrounding cannabis use and Delta-8. Better safe than sorry.

Do TSA Officers Search for Cannabis?

In TSA’s own words, their screening procedures are focused on security.

THC and other forms of airport security exist to detect potential threats to aviation and passengers, and that’s why TSA security officers do not search for hemp-derived Delta-8 or other cannabis products.

On the other hand, if an illegal substance is discovered during security screening, TSA will refer the matter to a local law enforcement officer.

What If TSA Contacts Local Authorities?

If a TSA officer suspects that you may be violating the law, there’s a possibility that they’ll report you to local or state authorities, which can be a major hassle in the middle of domestic travel.

Though it’s unlikely, it can complicate the situation if your product isn’t legal on the state level. Marijuana products are the key culprits here — products over the 0.3% Delta-9 THC level.

Because of this possibility, some folks may choose to only store Delta-8 in their travel bags when it’s legal in both the state they’re departing from and the state they’re arriving in.

What Happens If You’re Questioned?

In the case that you’re questioned by TSA officers, there are a few things you can plan to bring with you to prove the federal legality of your products and help make sure the situation goes smoothly.

The first and most important item to have handy is a lab report on the product that you’re carrying with you. This documentation will prove that your cannabis meets the legal limits outlined by the Farm Bill.

Luckily, you won’t have to print and carry a paper copy of the lab report with you. All of Mood’s products undergo third-party testing, and you can find these lab reports by scanning a QR code on their original product label.

All you need to do is keep your products stowed in the boxes they came in, and you’ll be all set. If you don’t have the original packaging, you can head to the bottom of any product page on Mood’s website.

In addition to the lab report QR code, you can show TSA a receipt or proof of purchase of your product, as well as a link to the online cannabis dispensary you purchased it from and any legal information they may have on their site. These are the most reliable ways to back up the legal status of your cannabis goods.

Does the Type of Product You Travel With Matter?

If the item you're bringing on a plane is legal, you don’t need to worry about falling out of line with TSA regulations.

However, some types of cannabis products will draw less attention than others, and this can help you avoid needing to prove the legality of your items at all.

For example, TSA tends to keep an eye out for vaping devices and may be more likely to flag a Delta-8 vape than a bag of gummies during security checks.

This is partially because electronic cigarettes and vapes with certain types of batteries can pose a hazard if they start to heat during transport and partially because there are additional rules around traveling with vapes.

In general, vapes are allowed only in carry-on baggage, and you’re never allowed to use them while on the plane.

Because of the security concerns surrounding vapes, you may opt for more discreet items. Delta-8 gummies and pretty much any type of edibles shouldn’t be any source of concern when stowed in a checked bag or carry-on luggage.

FAQs About Traveling With Cannabis

Q: Can you take cannabis products on international flights?

A: The answer to this question depends on your destination country and the specific products you’re carrying with you. As we mentioned earlier, TSA won’t flag products that contain no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis.

However, each country has its own cannabis laws, and it’s important to comply with them during international travel to avoid a mess of legal troubles. To be safe, do your research before traveling to find out whether products like gummies and flower are allowed in the place you’re headed to.

Q: Can I bring medical marijuana on a flight?

A: Even if you have the go-ahead to use medical marijuana (products over the 0.3% Delta-9 THC threshold) for medical reasons, there are specific laws at the federal level that prevent you from bringing any kind of marijuana on a plane.

All forms of marijuana are still federally illegal, so they don’t comply with TSA rules in any state. If you need help coming up with an alternative source of relief during travel, make sure to consult your doctor.

Q: Can I bring cannabis products across state lines?

A: Each state has its own specific regulations for cannabis products, so make sure you do your homework and research the legality of cannabis in your destination state if you’re flying domestically.
