Traveling with cannabis products is illegal nearly everywhere. Before heading overseas, American travelers are warned to double-check their bags for one item that could lead to hefty fines or even prison time. U.S. officials are reminding travelers that bringing cannabis products across international borders remains illegal in many countries - following a new customs policy in Thailand that significantly increases penalties for violators.
In June 2026, Thailand introduced tougher penalties for travelers caught bringing cannabis across its borders. Violators can face up to 10 years in prison, a fine of up to 500,000 Thai baht (about $15,000), or both, according to the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Thailand. Although Thailand decriminalized cannabis possession in 2022, importing or exporting cannabis without the proper permissions remains illegal, the warning said.
Jeffrey Hoffman, a New York-based cannabis attorney, said travelers should never assume that laws at home apply once they cross an international border. "While we are seeing cannabis laws relaxed in countries like Canada and in various states in the U.S., cannabis is still generally illegal across the overwhelming majority of the planet," Hoffman said. "When you travel to a different jurisdiction, you become subject to its laws."
