Despite its legalization across 33 states, traveling with weed is tricky, even from one state to another where both have legalized its recreational and medicinal use.

Luckily, this week, TSA changed its policy on CBD oil in a major way, now explicitly allowing travelers to pack hemp-derived CBD oil (and any FDA-approved medical marijuana) in a carry-on and checked bag for the very first time.
