That includes certain cannabis-infused products as well, like CBD oil.However, cannabis products containing no more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis or those approved by the FDA are the exceptions. These items are permitted in both carry-on bags and checked bags, according to TSA. When is it OK to drive after consuming marijuana? These rules apply regardless of the departure or arrival airports.“TSA’s response to the discovery of marijuana is the same in every state and at every airport – regardless of whether marijuana has been or is going to be legalized at the state level,” TSA spokesp...
