Carrying Kannaco CBD topicals in Michigan

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

Bottom line on licensing

Michigan's CRA processor-handler license covers anyone who processes, handles, brokers or markets hemp, and "market" means to promote or sell. It reaches front-desk sales and paid care programs that include take-home Kannaco. Applying Kannaco in sessions without selling it is not addressed by the CRA FAQ.

Applied during a session

Yes

Michigan's license covers anyone who will "process, handle, broker, or market industrial hemp." "Market" means to promote or sell. Applying Kannaco during care without selling it is not a listed activity; the CRA FAQ does not address service-only use.

Common questions

Do retail sellers of finished CBD topicals need a license in Michigan?

Yes. The CRA says the Act "requires any person who is marketing industrial hemp in Michigan to be licensed as a processor-handler," and that topicals at 0.3% THC or less may be sold "with this license." Source

Does Kannaco need to be registered as a product in Michigan?
