Carrying Kannaco CBD topicals in Colorado
What applies depends on how your practice uses Kannaco. Here is each case, with its source.
Bottom line on licensing
Colorado's hemp registration (CDPHE) covers facilities that manufacture or store hemp products, which Kannaco handles. No state retail license was found for selling finished products, and no-THC products are exempt from the 21+ rule. Session use, programs and front-desk sales of Kannaco trigger no state license.
Included in a care program or package
✓YesNo state retail license applies, and products with no THC are exempt from the 21+ rule (C.R.S. 25-5-427(8)(e)(II)). A plan that gives clients Kannaco units needs no hemp license.
Source
Sold at the front desk
✓YesNo state retail license was found, and the 21+ rule exempts "Products with no THC" and "Cosmetics" (C.R.S. 25-5-427(8)(e)(II)), so no age check applies to Kannaco.
Source
Shipped to a client's home
✓YesNo Colorado rule limiting Kannaco dropship or clients' online orders was found, and the no-THC exemption removes the 21+ rule.

Common questions
Do city tobacco or hemp licenses apply to Kannaco?
Some cities license sellers of age-restricted hemp products. Aurora's 2026 ordinance defines those as products barred to under-21 buyers by C.R.S. 25-5-427(8)(e), which exempts products with no THC. Source
The statute lists selling a hemp product without registering as unlawful. Does that reach the practice?
C.R.S. 25-5-427(8)(c) lists "selling" without registering, but CDPHE's rule applies registration to manufacturers and storage facilities. No source requiring retail sellers to register was found. Source
Still to confirm
- Does C.R.S. 25-5-427(8)(c) require a practice that only sells finished, registered products to register with CDPHE?With: Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Hemp Program
