Rare NMTraveller Posted December 15, 2019 #26 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) LOL! I am laughing at this one. If you want to get high on drugs go to Jamaica or the Netherlands. Not the USA cruise ports. I prefer to enjoy my cruise and not be intoxicated on whatever... We have movies in the USA about this. They are the Cheech and Chong series. LOL!

I believe it may have had to do with CBD oil. I recall that thread...some odd issues going on there so I would not use that as a guide.. If Celeb website says No...then that's the answer! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an article in the news where they had a product which was supposed to be free of THC and it was not.

In the US, legal CBD products are primarily created from hemp. Unlike marijuana, which contains large amounts of THC, the high inducing compound in cannabis, hemp contains only trace amounts. The article to which you refer probably referred to a product derived from marijuana and not hemp. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP would have no need to move, hot topic or not, since she already lives in one of the states that allow it. But bringing CBD on a cruise ship is a different matter entirely. I think that many passengers would be willing to risk it if at worst it would merely be confiscated, as done with other prohibited items brought on board such as surge protectors or irons or booze in excess of the allowable limit. But if the penalty upon detection would be more severe, then that would likely be a deterrent for many. Edited December 15, 2019 by varoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways how would anybody tell the difference? Many recommend not even taking it through the airport due to the ambiguity of where it was derived from. We do have states that legalized it and produce marijuana CDB oil. We have such a state one state away. This whole issue kind of reminds me of vaping where you do not know what is in it until it is regulated and laboratory tested for contents.

Some states but not yet the federal government. Then there are foreign governments. In some countries the penalty is severe and they come onboard in ports and apply the penalties.

kearney Posted December 17, 2019 #37 Share Posted December 17, 2019 There is so much confusion over CBD oil and many (including me) are not fully informed of the differences... eg full spectrum vs isolate for example. Honestly I would probably leave it home until things settle out from a regulatory perspective. My fear would be having it in my purse... forgetting it was there and getting off in a port where it is illegal and having it discovered. Heck some ports don't allow you to wear items that are camouflage. But if you do, I would follow the advise of having something in writing from the cruise line... and then make sure you do not carry it onto one of the ports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeRick Posted December 17, 2019 #38 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Just leave the CBD oil at home. If you want to use it to quell anxiety (a reported but non-proven use) there are a lot of legal alternatives on the ship like a beverage package.

My state recently legalized hemp products containing less than .3% thc and overnight it seems that ever store has signs up proclaiming that they have cbd products. i agree that the whole thing is confusing. The cbd oils supposedly are less than .3% thc but have seen people online claim they vape oil instead of smoke marijuana to get high so who knows. I get drug tested at work so any thc is too much so I just stay away from all of it to be safe. Edited December 17, 2019 by sanger727 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbenboys Posted December 18, 2019 #42 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I see the real problem is if you get busted. How do they test if it is CBD or THC. I'm sure I can find software to make labels say anything I want. On the other side I visited my nephew the other day after his Western Caribbean cruise. He said his dad went on and off the cruise ship with his THC vape pen and never had a problem. He put it in the tray with all his other items coming back on the ship. It was not a Celebrity cruise, but part of the RCCL family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a completely unrelated note... you might tell your nephew... to tell his dad that apparently it is THC vaping that has caused all those vaping deaths.... and it can happen as quickly as your first vape (smoke... whatever).

I brought my CBD with me on a recent cruise. I didn't think much of it. Could I have gotten in trouble? Yeah, maybe. Maybe not. I kept it in my carry on when boarding and put it in my safe. For some of us, it really makes a big difference. My back pain is night and day when I use CBD so it was worth the "risk" though I didn't even consider the risk when I brought it...
