Carrying Kannaco CBD topicals in Montana
What applies depends on how your practice uses Kannaco. Here is each case, with its source.
Bottom line on licensing

MCA 50-31-239 bars consumer sales of hemp products containing total delta-9 THC, which Kannaco's non-detect COAs show it does not contain. Session use, care programs and front-desk sales trigger no license.

Does Montana's 2025 total-THC sales ban affect Kannaco?
The ban reaches hemp products "containing total delta-9" THC. Kannaco's batch COAs report THC as not detected, so the rule found does not reach its formulas. Source
