Carrying Kannaco CBD topicals in Alaska

What applies depends on how your practice uses Kannaco. Here is each case, with its source.

Bottom line on licensing

The Division of Agriculture retailer registration (about $100 per location per year) covers receiving compensation for endorsed hemp products from Alaska consumers. Because compensation includes anything of value accepted by someone who gives or delivers hemp, and the licensee FAQ names onsite use, session use, programs and front-desk sales all point to registration.
