Carrying Kannaco CBD topicals in New Mexico

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

Bottom line on licensing

New Mexico's NMED permit covers hemp facilities (extraction, manufacturing, retail manufacturing, warehouses), not businesses that only provide sealed finished products to consumers. Session use, care programs and front-desk sale of Kannaco do not trigger a permit or age rule; repackaging Kannaco into new containers could.

Applied during a session

Yes

20.10.2 NMAC does not address applying hemp products during care. Its permits cover extraction, manufacturing, retail manufacturing and warehouse facilities; no permit or age rule was found for a practice using Kannaco as backbar.

Included in a care program or package

Yes

A practice that gives clients Kannaco units in a paid package acts as a "hemp retailer," which provides finished products "directly to consumers." Retailers are not listed among permitted hemp facilities, so no permit was found for this.

Sold at the front desk

Yes

No NMED retailer permit, fee or age rule was found for selling sealed Kannaco units. Repackaging into new containers would make a business a "hemp retail manufacturer," which needs an NMED permit.

Shipped to a client's home

Yes

No ban on shipping Kannaco to New Mexico homes was found; Kannaco holds the NMED approved-source status needed for dropship and online orders.

What is still open

  • ✓ DoneKannaco holds the NMED approved-source status your practice needs to receive its out-of-state products, including dropship to clients. Source
  • ✓ DoneKannaco batch COAs report THC as not detected with the lab's detection limit and are reachable by the package QR code, as 20.10.2 NMAC requires. Source

Physical therapy

New Mexico Physical Therapy Board (RLD)

Definitions and clarifications

Key terms and questions in New Mexico

Key terms

Hemp finished product
"a product intended for retail sale to consumers for human consumption, cosmetics, or inhalation" that contains hemp or hemp extract (20.10.2.7 NMAC). Source
Hemp retailer
"a person that provides hemp finished products directly to consumers" (20.10.2.7 NMAC). Source
Hemp retail manufacturer
"an operation that produces or repackages hemp finished products and provides them directly to consumers"; a permitted hemp facility (20.10.2.7 NMAC). Source
Consumer
A member of the public who takes possession of hemp finished product, is not operating a hemp facility, and "does not offer the hemp finished product for resale" (20.10.2.7 NMAC). Source

Common questions

Do we need an NMED permit to sell Kannaco at the front desk?

No permit was found. 20.10.2.8 NMAC requires permits for hemp facilities, and a hemp retailer that only provides finished products to consumers is not listed as one. Source

Can we decant a 16 oz backbar jar into small containers for clients?

Repackaging hemp finished products for consumers fits the rule's "hemp retail manufacturer" definition, a facility type that needs an NMED permit. Selling Kannaco's sealed retail units avoids this. Source
