Is the brand of CBD oil transparent about its contents

CBD is considered safe to carry within the EU and the UK as the UK is no longer in the EU but has adopted many EU laws.The CBD oil you are transporting must contain less than 0.2% THC. The percentage of TCH is because it is the amount of naturally occurring THC contained inside industrial hemp

Industrial hemp which is widely available on the open market anyway contains 0.2% THC. The threshold of 0.2% is regarded as being safe and low enough not to have psychoactive properties, this brings us to another issue how can you know for sure that the CBD products you have bought contain less than 0.2% THC?

All of your CBD products display their cannabinoid content clearly on the box and on the bottle with clear instructions of dosage and are verified from the lab and batch report. Most CBD oils including our brand make a point of ensuring that their product is under the legal threshold for THC content although without lab testing its is really hard to know if this is true or not.

That is why it is important to only travel with CBD products that are produced by a reputable and trustworthy brand. Transparent brands like our own at cbd-cannabis-oils.co.uk  as always provide you with conclusive lab results and testing batches.

North America

This brings us to the United States where regulations for CBD have been put forth by the (Drug Enforcement Agency) DEA  where regulation stipulates CBD is considered to be legal if it contains less than 0.3% THC. Some people have reported while travelling to the US a pass on small differences in THC content, but TSA regulations require agents to report any possible violations to law enforcement.

It is well known in California recreational restrictions have been lifted on all cannabis products in 2016 but stay law can often conflict with federal laws this means traveling between sets may mean that the local laws of the specific state you are flying into may be broken if you are carrying CBD oil.

In Canada much like California both recreational and medical cannabis have been legalised so, there is no limit on the amount of THC that a legal CBD oil or any other product should contain. This means you can safely travel with up to a thirty days of supply of CBD oil you must hover be aware that oils that are carried onto an airplane will be subject to your airline’s limit on liquids which are usually 100ml in Canada.
