Carrying Kannaco CBD topicals in Florida
What applies depends on how your practice uses Kannaco. Here is each case, with its source.
Bottom line on licensing
Florida's FDACS permits, label rules and 21+ limit apply to hemp extract meant for ingestion or inhalation. Kannaco topicals are outside that definition, so session use, care programs and front-desk sales trigger no state hemp license or age rule.
Included in a care program or package
✓YesBecause Kannaco is not "hemp extract" under s.581.217, the permit and 21+ rules do not reach a plan that gives clients Kannaco units. No other state hemp license was found.
Source
Sold at the front desk
✓YesNo license or age rule was found for selling Kannaco topicals. The 21+ rule covers products "intended for human ingestion or inhalation" (s.581.217(7)(d)).
Source
Shipped to a client's home
✓YesNo Florida rule limiting Kannaco dropship or clients' online orders for home delivery was found.
