kalmich Posted September 16 #1 Share Posted September 16 I use a hair product that is "CBD Infused". It's a spray for frizzy hair. Will I get in trouble if I bring this on my cruise? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9tee2Sea Posted September 16 #2 Share Posted September 16 I would not risk it. Some countries won't even let you wear camouflage clothes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusin okie Posted September 16 #4 Share Posted September 16 This is from Carnival's website: Prohibited Items Any illegal narcotics/drugs including synthetic, designer drugs, marijuana, cannabis and cannabis derivatives such as Cannabidiol (CBD) items which may be labeled as medical marijuana. While certain CBD products used for medicinal purposes may be legal in the U.S. based on state and local laws, they are not legal under U.S. federal law and in all the ports we visit and therefore are also considered prohibited items. Why would you consider taking the chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bafinegan Posted September 16 #5 Share Posted September 16 If there is a chance a drug dog will sniff it out ( and those dogs have very sensitive noses!), you will get caught and not be able to cruise ( no refund either). I wouldn't risk it. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeyVictoria Posted September 16 #6 Share Posted September 16 I would rather be cruising with frizzy hair than staying home with smooth hair, 10 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in the United States and possibly some rural parts of Canada is this considered acceptable public attire.

sgttami Posted September 16 #8 Share Posted September 16 In the "old days" I probably would have taken the hair spray if it was something I needed but these days, FORGET IT! (especially with CBD infused marked on it. It's not worth worrying about whether it will taken or not and these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staceyglow Posted September 16 #9 Share Posted September 16 How in the world does CBD help in styling your hair? You are literally spraying it on dead cells (which is what hair is). I would rather ingest the CBD so that I don't really care how my hair looks. 😁 2 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a relative who used to live in Germany and would venture over there frequently. I have never come across people wearing camo in Germany, France, and the UK as much as I do in the USA.

DeniseTr Posted September 17 #13 Share Posted September 17 I think the CBD thing is relatively new. I used a CBD salve on my cruises from 2018 to 2020, but it's likely that pot has become so commonplace that the dogs were alerting to CBD too often, so they banned it all. I'd agree, not worth taking the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jimbo5544 Posted September 17 #15 Share Posted September 17 The issue is that the cruise line says it is verboten. There are documented cases of people being banned for life for breaking rules like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jimbo5544 Posted September 18 #20 Share Posted September 18 It does not matter whether someone thinks Carnival is wrong or right or whether Carnival is following other country laws or not. Carnival says it is not allowed. Period. To risk a ban for life seems like an extreme option to me….but that is just my opinion, I tend to follow rules. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under federal law, CBD products can contain as much as 0.3% THC to be considered legal (so even higher than Mexico). As stated in Carnival's policies, under federal laws, port facilities are federal facilities, and as such are drug free zones, as are all ships of all nations that are signatory to the STCW (133 nations). As such drug free zones, no one is allowed to have any drugs onboard, and since the CBD product may have up to 0.3% THC, it is a "dangerous drug" (the THC), and therefore not allowed. Since CBD products in the US are not subject to FDA testing, there is no guarantee that even so called "THC free" CBD products are actually THC free, or even under the federal limit, or even from hemp. There have been cases where the USCG has done drug testing on US mariners, and found THC, even though the mariner has only used CBD products, and they subsequently lost their mariner's documents. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many / most items that are not allowed on the ship are legal to own but not allowed on a ship. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been testing on US mariners, that found THC, because the mariner used a THC product they falsely believed had only CBD products. No one got any THC from CBD.

My point is that while Carnival is perfectly within their rights to prevent you from bringing it on board, they are making false statements about WHY you aren't allowed to bring it on. You shouldn't bring it on because it may be contminated with THC which is federally illegal? Absolutely true. You shouldn't bring it on because it is illegal in SOME of the ports visited by Carnival? Absolutely true. You shouldn't bring it on because it is against Carnival policy/rules? Absolutely true. It's against Carnival rules BECAUSE it is federally illegal? Absolutely false. It's against Carnival rules BECAUSE it's illegal in ALL ports they visit? Absolutely false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
