I don't know if I'll ever go on a cruise ship. The only part
that really interest me is tasting a wide variety of food in a
short amount of time.
Plus my anxiety about riding on a human petri dish would get
the best of me and cause all kinds of embarrassment. Not to mention
that there are hundreds of people around and having to move as a
pack once you arrive for an excursion.
Gives me the shivers. Anyway, there is a recent news story
about a person kicked off a ship because of CBD Gummies.
Those of an anxious nature need to know that you cannot travel
on cruse ships that have a U.S. port with any form of marijuana or
medicinal products derived from that substance.
Under U.S. federal law, it is still illegal. And federal law
supersede your local state law.
You can be fined.
You can be arrested.
Or worse, lose all that money you paid to cruise in the first
place.
And that is just in a U.S. port. Don't even think about doing
it oversees. In this episode a heads up about not bring
cannabis products on the ship.
