Elevate Holistics is here to discuss all things delta 8 on planes, review what delta 8 is, and summarize its legality.

Can You Fly With Delta 8 THC?
Whether it’s to ease flight anxiety or enjoy at your next destination, it is generally legal to fly domestically with federally legal hemp-derived delta 8 THC.
You just have to watch out for state-specific laws, airline-specific regulations, and the contents of your delta 8 product.
Is delta-8 legal in the states I am traveling to and from?
Hemp-derived delta 8 containing 0.3% THC or less is federally legal. Unless a state has made moves to prohibit it, delta 8 doesn’t violate any federal laws.
But, again, check with local law enforcement and specific state laws before packing it in your luggage.

Has the airline specifically prohibited flying with delta-8?
TSA’s medical marijuana regulations don’t specifically discuss delta-8 THC, but they do mention that medical marijuana products are federally illegal except for “products that contain no more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis or that are approved by FDA.”
By that, the Transportation Security Administration is referring to hemp-derived products made federally legal by the 2018 Farm Bill – which includes delta 8 THC. Since delta 8 THC doesn’t violate federal law, you should be in the clear with TSA agents to be flying with delta 8 vape or another delta 8 product.
However, it’s still smart to check with the specific airline you are using, as well as local laws just to be safe.
Is my delta 8 product hemp-derived and federally legal, containing 0.3% THC or less?
If you purchased your delta 8 product from a credible retailer, your delta 8 product is likely legal. Double-check the ingredients to confirm that it contains 0.3% THC or less.
Steer clear from purchasing any cannabis product from an unreputable source, like a random gas station or sketchy website.
Look for ingredients, COAs provided by third-party testing, and customer reviews if buying online.
Can You Fly With Delta 8 Gummies?
Can I fly with delta 8 gummies?
As long as your delta 8 gummies follow the three guidelines above, you can legally fly with them.
According to TSA’s food guidelines, passengers can bring solid food items like candy in a carry-on or checked bag.
Flying With a Delta 8 Vape
If your delta 8 vape complies with the flight regulations and you adhere to the airline’s rules for storage during the journey, it is legally permissible to travel with it.
According to TSA’s vaping devices guidelines, electronic smoking devices are allowed only in carry-on baggage.
So you cannot put vapes in your checked bag.
TSA requires that you take “effective measures for preventing accidental activation of the heating element of the device” during the flight. This could include removing the battery or putting the vape in a protective case.
Can You Fly with a Delta 8 Tincture?
Depending on the container’s size, travelers can bring hemp-derived delta 8 tinctures on flights, either in their carry-on or checked luggage.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) mandates that liquids in carry-ons must be in containers of 3.4 ounces or smaller. Containers larger than this must be in checked baggage.
How to Fly With Delta 8
On top of storing your delta 8 product properly, passengers should always:
- Keep delta 8 products in their original packaging so that TSA can easily identify it
- Bring your delta 8 product’s COA (certificate of analysis) so that TSA can confirm the contents of your product
