Beware of traveling with CBD oil: Where are you at risk of jail?!

Don't miss the information about which countries they are in CBD drops legal and in which illegal. What happened to tourists who did not respect local laws? You will be shocked!
Can't imagine a day without CBD oil? And you don't want to give it up even on vacation? Then you are probably wondering which countries you can travel to with cannabis products and where you are at risk of problems. We will tell you how to enjoy your vacation without unnecessary stress and continue to reap the benefits of cannabidiol.
CBD oil on a plane? It's good idea?
Does the thought of traveling by plane scare you? Many people are nervous before the trip and some are stressed throughout the flight. Thanks to its relaxing effects, CBD oil becomes a great helper for managing nervousness and anxiety before and during the flight. In addition, it helps to regulate the sleep cycle, which helps you get used to a different time zone.
If you're worried about your CBD drops being confiscated at airport security, you could theoretically take cannabidiol before entering the airport and throw the bottle away. You can then buy a new product at your destination. But what if you want to take oil on board the plane?
To begin with, it is important to mention that CBD is a non-psychoactive substance from hemp that is legal in many countries. Unlike THC, which is listed as an illegal substance in many countries. The question remains, how do you explain to the airport staff that you really have CBD in the bottle and not a product with THC.
What do we recommend before traveling abroad?
Ask the airline about the conditions of carriage of CBD oil and, if necessary, inform customs that you have it in your luggage. Also, have proof of oil purchase with you, such as an invoice or receipt. Check your country's laws and regulations for storing cannabidiol and make sure it does not contain THC.
What can we advise you before returning to the Czech Republic?
If you buy CBD oil legally abroad, the same rules apply to it as for importing alcohol and tobacco. The condition is that you purchased it as a gift or for your personal use.

Find out the current legal regulations
The previous list of countries is only for your orientation. Always check the current laws in the destination country before you travel, as they may change. The best way to get information is at the embassy of the country in question. In general, CBD is illegal in most Asian, Middle Eastern, African and Oceanian countries.
Make sure that the CBD oil does not contain psychoactive substances
Travel with CBD oil from a reputable manufacturer that lists the exact ingredients on the label and declares that the product does not contain psychoactive substances. Go through online reviews and what experiences people have had with that manufacturer and product. Find out the origin of hemp and give preference to products from organic farming and with verifiable hemp origin.
What happened to people who were not informed enough?
Some recent cases show that traveling with CBD oil can bring you serious complications. A frightening case is the events from Thailand, where several people served 5 years in prison for transporting substances that were legal in their country. In Egypt, there was media coverage of a case in which an American citizen was imprisoned in 2010 for importing organic hemp oil, which is mainly used in salads. He was facing the death penalty, but luckily he was released after protests.
Can you transport CBD oil through transit countries?
When traveling with CBD oil, it is necessary to take into account the transit countries in which you will stop during the journey. Here too, you are responsible for the contents of your luggage. If you're just crossing the border and carrying CBD oil or any other cannabis product, it may be confiscated.
If you break the law by doing so, you can be denied entry into the country and deported back, or worse, face heavy fines and even jail time (depending on the country and the amount of CBD you have on you).
The Czech Republic loves CBD oil and other cannabinoids
For your peace of mind, do not travel with hemp products. Many countries are gradually legalizing them, so you can buy them in local shops. Enjoy their therapeutic benefits in the Czech Republic and possibly buy cannabidiol oil only at the destination (provided it is sold legally there). If you have only good experiences with CBD oil, also test the cannabinoids CBG and CBN and kratom powder, which is popular in Asian countries!
