Canadian woman faces lifetime ban after getting caught with CBD oil at U.S. border

1. Banned for life seems rather extreme when they can buy many of the products here in the States

I would treat it like stuff in airport carryon bags. If it is found to be prohibited you have the option of tossing it, consuming it, etc.
I chose to toss a jar of peanut butter once. My sister stopped to the side to finish off some guacamole! (TSA guy said it was considered a gel!). I have seen people toss bottled water and even costly perfume/lotions to make their flights.
