Traveling internationally? Don’t bring your CBD - The Boston Globe
State Department officials have a reminder for holiday travelers: CBD may be legal here, but if you’re leaving the country, don’t bring it with you.
Though hemp-derived CBD became legal in the United States with the signing of the 2018 Farm Bill, many countries continue to prohibit all forms of cannabis, including marijuana and hemp, as well as the compounds that can be extracted from it.
CBD is a largely nonpsychoactive compound found in both marijuana and hemp, a sister plant to marijuana that has an extremely low threshold of THC, which makes you high. Though marijuana remains illegal on the federal level, hemp was legalized when President Trump signed the 2018 Farm Bill in December 2018.
