Carrying Kannaco CBD topicals in Georgia

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

Bottom line on licensing

Georgia's Retail Consumable Hemp Establishment License ($250/year, one location) covers selling or offering Kannaco to consumers there, including take-home units in paid packages. Georgia law does not say whether applying Kannaco during care needs the license; the under-21 ban on selling or furnishing applies to any transfer.

Unclear

Georgia's retail license attaches to selling or offering Kannaco to consumers; Georgia law does not address applying it during care. Separately, O.C.G.A. 16-12-241 bars anyone from selling or furnishing consumable hemp products to anyone under 21, which may reach session use.

Definitions and clarifications

Key terms and questions in Georgia

Key terms

Consumable hemp product
"a hemp product intended to be ingested, absorbed, or inhaled by humans or animals" (O.C.G.A. 2-23-3); Department rules name products intended for topical application. Source
Retail consumable hemp establishment license
The license for a person who "prepares or sells prepackaged consumable hemp products to consumers"; selling to consumers without one is unlawful (O.C.G.A. 2-23-3, 2-23-4.1). Source
Commercial sale
"the sale of products in the stream of commerce at retail, at wholesale, and online" (O.C.G.A. 2-23-3). Source
Age rule
Unlawful to "knowingly sell, furnish, or cause to be furnished" any consumable hemp product to anyone under 21 (O.C.G.A. 16-12-241). Source

Common questions

Do Georgia rules treat a CBD topical as consumable hemp?

Yes. The statute covers products "absorbed" by humans, and Department Rule 40-32-1-.02 defines a consumable hemp product intended for topical application, so Kannaco's topicals fall under the retail license and age rules. Source

What sign must a practice post if it sells Kannaco?

Any place of business offering consumable hemp products for sale must post, in capitals at least half an inch high: "SALE OF CONSUMABLE HEMP PRODUCTS TO INDIVIDUALS UNDER 21 YEARS OF AGE IS PROHIBITED BY LAW" (O.C.G.A. 16-12-242). Source

Can front-desk staff under 21 handle Kannaco sales?

The Department's license page says employing people under 21 at businesses selling or handling consumable hemp products is permitted. Source
