For many people CBD oil has become a way to treat chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety, arthritis, and a whole host of other health issues. However since it’s still quite new, it’s a bit of a grey area on whether it’s okay to travel with it or not. We’ll go over some places that you can and can’t bring your CBD oil, and we also have some cbdMD coupons for you.

Get High Quality Products with cbdMD Coupons

The CBD oil industry is a lot like the supplements industry: it’s not heavily regulated and there is a vast range of product quality on the market. With cbdMD you can be confident that you are getting the highest quality CBD oil, or other CBD infused products. They have lotions & topicals, balms, gummies, soft gel capsules, and even dog treats! If your dog suffers from joint pain or anxiety you may want to give CBD treats a try. And no, you are not getting your dog high it’s the CBD oil derived from hemp plants which does not have the THC compound in it.

cbdMD coupons and tips for travelling with CBD products

If you already have a brand of CBD you prefer or you’re interested in trying CBD oil for the first time I recommend trying out cbdMD to see if you like it. They are one of the best quality brands out there, and you can use the coupon link from above to get a great deal.

Where Can’t I Go with CBD products?

Since this is largely a travel blog, I thought I’d cover where you can and can’t travel with CBD products. As I mentioned above CBD is still new, and so some countries just haven’t had time to put in laws around it yet. Also of note is that for the most part, it is the hemp-based CBD products like I mentioned with the dog treats that is legal. CBD that contains THC is legal in a few places, but is definitely more restricted. You should look very carefully into country and/or state laws before travelling with this. For example there are some states in the US where it is legal, but many where it is not and at the federal level it’s not legal. Just so you know, the TSA is a federal organization so you are not supposed to fly with CBD oil. Will the TSA call the police on you for having a bottle of CBD oil? Most likely not, but getting through security is already stressful enough as it is.

Some countries have extremely strict or murky laws around CBD, so it’s best to not take it there. Those include Georgia, Russia, Belgium, China, and Slovakia. In Ireland you have to be very careful because only CBD products with 0% THC are allowed, whereas in the rest of the EU the maximum is 0.2% and in the US it’s 0.3%. In some European Union countries CBD is legal, provided that it has been made from plants that have been cultivated in EU countries with EU certified hemp seeds and the THC content is less than 0.2%. So CBD oil that has been produced from plants grown in the United States with a THC content of 0.3% would not be permitted. Check your products carefully before travelling with them.

There are a few countries in which you will need a doctor’s prescription to carry CBD products as well, they are Malta, New Zealand, and Norway.

Where Can I Go With CBD Products?

Many countries will allow you to travel with hemp-derived CBD products that have a low concentration of THC, but please check the local laws before travel. There are a few countries where CBD products are legal whether they are derived from hemp or cannabis plants. Those countries are Argentina, Canada, the Netherlands, Peru, and the Virgin Islands.

In certain US states cannabis-derived products are also legal such as Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Montana, South Dakota, Colorado, Arizona, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Alaska and New Jersey. The rest generally have mixed laws around it, again it’s always best to look into local laws for where you are going specifically. Also an interesting note: because national parks are federal land even hemp-derived CBD products are not allowed. Although I highly doubt a park ranger is going to confiscate your roll on topical for joint pain, you might not want to push your luck.

Do Your Research and Use Common Sense When Travelling with CBD

The laws around this new product are changing rapidly, and as long as you do a little research ahead of time and plan accordingly you should be fine. Remember to use that coupon I linked above for cbdMD, you won’t regret it!

Traveling is a favourite pastime for most people especially during holidays. With most taking long-haul flights to distant locations for either business or for pleasure. Unfortunately, these long-haul flights can be quite stressful and exhausting, especially for the unprepared. But then the journey to the destination is of more importance than the destinations itself. Therefore it pays to prepare well for such long flights, and below are some tips to help have a more enjoyable flight.

1. Use a VPN For Web Surfing

Internet wi-fi is a relatively new thing these days, and with any new technology, you can bet there’s some vulnerabilities that you will want to protect yourself against. Using a VPN will protect all your personal information and may help with slower speeds as well due to airline imposing limits.

And it doesn’t have to be too pricey. You can search for a VPN coupon code website like CouponLynx.org and then you can sign up with whichever service tickles your fancy.

2. Use Noise Cancelling Headphones

If you want to focus and get some work done (I love when I’m on a flight with wifi!), get some shut-eye, or just listen to some great music or podcasts noise cancelling headphones are a lifesaver. They effectively cancel out most low-vibration sounds such as the airplane engine and conversation of people around you. Unfortunately they can’t drown out a crying baby entirely, but they definitely help! They range from around $75 to very expensive, take a look at BestGear.org for a comparison of several different models. Which one is the best for you will depend on what your needs are and how much room you have in your carry-on bag.

3. Keep yourself hydrated

When you embark on long-haul flights, you are more likely to become dehydrated and you definitely don’t want to arrive at your destination feeling like death warmed over but rather refreshed and ready to face the world. For this reason, you should drink water more frequently. For those of you who are prone to dry eyes, you can bring along a moisturizer and take some eye drops once in a while.

Health practitioners also recommend electrolyte solutions as they help to maintain the electrolyte balance in our bodies thus preventing one from becoming completely diluted with water. Coffee and alcohol are very dehydrating and should be avoided. But if you want to have a glass of wine with your dinner I won’t tell, especially if you are heading out on vacation!

4. Body stretches.

Sitting down for more than 6 hours can be quite tiring and it calls for some body movements and stretches to keep the blood circulation flowing to your legs and the rest of your body. Due to the limited space, your only option will be walking down the aisle after every two hours or exercising some simple body movements while seated. While seated you can do some neck rolls to release tension from your neck. Additionally, you can do some ankle circles where you gently roll your ankle in a circle or do some leg extensions to stretch out stiff legs.

Body stretches and movements not only help maintain your sanity but also prevent you from developing deep vein thrombosis.

5. Sleep

Sleeping on a flight is rare but since you are going to spend an entire day or night on a long-haul flight it would be worth bringing a few flight essentials to help you with your sleep.

Pack a travel neck pillow and a blanket to keep you cozy and warm. You can also invest in a good sleep mask. Let’s face it, most people can’t fall asleep with the lights on and even worse when there is so much noise in your surroundings. However, a pair of noise-canceling headphones and eye-mask can provide you a quiet and dark environment necessary for the best chance to fall asleep.

6. Make yourself comfortable.

You should consider your comfort in a long-haul flight in terms of your dressing and the activities you involve yourself in. Avoid wearing tight-fitting shirts or stiff jeans. Instead, wear loose-fitting shirts and pants. Ensure your dressing in warm enough since it can get chilly on the plane.

Reserving a good seat is also essential when it comes to guaranteeing your comfort. If you wish to move about the plane more you should secure an aisle seat to avoid disturbing other passengers. Additionally, if you are prone to deep vein thrombosis, opt for exit rows that will give you more room to do some leg stretches.

7. Entertainment.

Finally, you will require a good plan to fritter away a few hours of your flight. Think about noise-canceling earphones (see point #1 above) and additional movies and music in phone, tablet or computer. You can also carry novels and interesting eBooks to keep you engaged during the flight. If you happen to have chatty neighbors you can opt to download audiobooks that will assist you to drown out the noise.
