We’re traveling to Italy. My husband suffers from insomnia. The THC gummies help him to sleep at night. Is it ok to pack them in our checked luggage?
Thank you!

Absolutely not. They're totally illegal and you will get in a LOT of trouble if they're found.

THC products are illegal to bring into Italy. And while THC products are legalized for medical use, it must be prescribed by an Italian doctor, and only for specific medical conditions. I doubt that insomnia rates inclusion. Its probably best to find a legal substitute before you leave.

Even if legal in the place you were going, it is illegal to bring it across an international border.

I travel with ZzzQuil LiquiCaps in my checked luggage for the nights that I have trouble sleeping.
He might give them a shot before the trip to see if they work for him.

I am curious. Has something changed? On our trip through Ravenna in 2019 I saw on the street a vending machine selling weed. Just verified this in my photo album (and, no, did not partake, can't handle any smoke in my lungs.)

I don't mean to pile on but I do want to note that it is still illegal to fly within the US with products with more than 0.3% THC. In theory, if TSA catches you they are obligated to report it to law enforcement.

In Italy it requires a medical prescription and must be purchased in a pharmacy.
