TSA changes policy to allow some CBD oil and medications on planes.
Ally Horner, the co-owner of Your CBD Store in Spring, Texas, 25 miles north of Houston, said questions about traveling with CBD products are common among her customers. She said she has always told them that it's not worth the risk, and instead advises them to take their CBD medication at home prior to their flight and then find a dispensary at their travel destination, or pay her store to ship them to them once they arrive.
"A lot of people are buying the CBD as an alternative to opiates, and having them be able to travel safely and not get into trouble would be huge for everybody.""A lot of people are buying the CBD as an alternative to opiates, and having them be able to travel safely and not get into trouble would be huge for everybody," she said.

Horner, 26, started taking CBD oil for pain after she broke her leg in January. With a titanium rod and five screws in her leg,"I’m already going to set off a metal detector, so I’m already going to have anxiety about that" when traveling, she said.
"And not being able to take the CBD that helps with my anxiety and pain, that would send my anxiety through the roof," she said.
