The Tourist's Guide
CBD, Hemp & Cannabis for OBX Tourists
Visiting the beach? Here's the short version of what you can buy, what you can't, and what'll get you in trouble at the airport.
What you can buy
- CBD products (topicals, tinctures, gummies, beverages)
- Δ9 gummies and edibles (hemp-derived, less than 0.3% Δ9 by weight)
- THCA flower — but not across state lines (it's still federally illegal to transport)
What you can't
- Bring cannabis from home. NC is hemp-only at the state level — there is no recreational marijuana.
- Carry THCA flower back across state lines. Federal law applies at airports and state borders.
- Smoke on the beach. OBX towns ban smoking on public beaches, period.
