Carrying Kannaco CBD topicals in Ohio

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

Bottom line on licensing

Ohio's Department of Agriculture licenses hemp cultivation and processing, not retail sale. Products over 0.4 mg total THC per container are treated as marijuana; Kannaco's non-detect COAs keep it under that line. Session use, care programs and in-office sale trigger no state license; the only open item is a dated chiropractic board notice.

Applied during a session

With a step

Ohio law licenses only hemp cultivation and processing; no license was found for applying Kannaco during care. Chiropractors should note a 2018 board notice barring CBD use and sale, which predates the hemp law and was never updated.

Included in a care program or package

With a step

A paid package with take-home Kannaco units is a sale, but Ohio has no hemp retailer license for products within the hemp definition. Kannaco's non-detect COAs keep each container under the 0.4 mg total THC line. Chiropractors: see the 2018 notice.

With a step

No state retailer license, fee or age rule was found for selling Kannaco; products over 0.4 mg total THC per container go to dispensaries only, which Kannaco's non-detect COAs avoid. Chiropractors should check the 2018 board notice.

Checklist

Before you start in Ohio

What is still open

  • KannacoCheck Kannaco labels against OAC 901:14-2-17: total cannabinoid mg per unit, permanently visible batch/lot code, and the consult-a-licensed-healthcare-professional statement (pregnant, breastfeeding, on medications or under 18). Source
  • Your practiceChiropractors: a 2018 board notice barred selling or distributing CBD; no updated statement was found, so check current guidance with the State Chiropractic Board before selling Kannaco. Source
  • BothWatch the SB 56 litigation, which may change enforcement affecting Kannaco. Source

Already covered by Kannaco

Licensing boards

What your licensing board says in Ohio

Chiropractic

Unclear

Ohio State Chiropractic Board

A secondary archive (August 2018) reports a board website notice stating licensees were prohibited from administering, selling, distributing or recommending CBD oil and hemp oil because the 2016 medical marijuana law did not distinguish hemp-derived CBD. That notice predates Ohio's 2019 hemp law and SB 56; no updated board statement was found.

Massage therapy

No board statement found

State Medical Board of Ohio (licenses massage therapists)

No board statement on hemp/CBD topicals found.

Acupuncture

No board statement found

State Medical Board of Ohio (licenses acupuncturists, ORC ch. 4762)

No board statement on hemp/CBD topicals found.

Physical therapy

No board statement found

Ohio Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Athletic Trainers Board

No board statement on hemp/CBD topicals found.

Naturopathic medicine

No board statement found

None (not licensed in Ohio)

Ohio does not license naturopathic doctors, so there is no board.

Medical and integrative (MD/DO)

No board statement found

State Medical Board of Ohio

No board statement on hemp/CBD topicals found. (Medical marijuana recommendations are a separate program.)

When a board has not addressed CBD topicals, your usual scope of practice applies. Check with your board if you are unsure.

Common questions

Does the 0.4 mg per-container cap reach our 16 oz backbar jar?

The cap applies per container, including jars. Kannaco's batch COAs report THC as not detected with the lab's detection limit, keeping each container under the limit. Source

Is the 2018 chiropractic CBD notice still in force?

No updated board statement was found. The notice predates Ohio's hemp law and SB 56; chiropractors should confirm current guidance before using or selling Kannaco. Source

What label rules apply?

OAC 901:14-2-17 requires total cannabinoid mg per unit, a batch code and a consult-a-healthcare-professional statement; these are Kannaco's responsibility. Source
