Rules differ by region: The US permits CBD oil with <0.3% THC and treats it as a liquid (100ml carry-on rule). The UK and EU allow it if THC content is within legal limits. UAE and China classify any cannabis-derived product as illegal — carrying CBD oil could result in arrest. India and Russia also prohibit it.
