In this blog, we’ll break down the key considerations for flying with vape products — from domestic regulations to international restrictions. It goes without saying that it's essential to check with your airline and relevant government agencies before you travel.

• CBD vapes are typically derived from hemp and contain less than 0.3% THC, making them federally legal in the United States under the 2018 Farm Bill.
• THC vapes, on the other hand, often contain 50% to 90% THC and remain illegal under federal law, even if permitted at the state level.

It is legal to fly domestically within Canada with a CBD vape pen, provided it was purchased from a licensed Canadian retailer and does not exceed the legal possession limit (typically up to 7.5 grams of cannabis concentrate).

• China – Strictly illegal; severe criminal penalties.
• India – Illegal under national narcotics laws.
• Indonesia – Strictly illegal; harsh sentencing.
• Pakistan – Illegal for recreational use; medical use restricted.
• Brazil – Decriminalized for personal use, but importation illegal.
• Russia – Illegal; even small amounts can lead to arrest.
• Mexico – Decriminalized, but importing THC illegal.
• Japan – Strictly illegal; imprisonment and deportation possible.
• South Korea – Strictly illegal; citizens can be prosecuted for use abroad.
• Iceland – Illegal; possession and importation are criminal offenses.

1. Carry-on only: Never place vape pens or batteries in checked luggage. Spare batteries should be stored in a plastic case in your carry-on.
2. Liquids limit: CBD pods or vape juice must be 100 ml (3.4 oz) or less and fit in a 1-quart clear plastic bag.

Bring proof: Keep the product in its original packaging with clear labeling of CBD/THC content.

• Carry a Certificate of Analysis (COA) if available.
• Avoid referring to it as "medicine" unless it is an FDA-approved product; instead, describe it as a "wellness supplement" if needed.
