Carrying Kannaco CBD topicals in West Virginia

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

Bottom line on licensing

West Virginia requires every retail facility selling hemp products, including online sellers, to register with WVDA each year ($100), and each product to be registered. Front-desk sales and paid take-home packages trigger the practice's seller registration. The law does not address session use without a separate sale.

Applied during a session

Yes

WVDA seller registration covers 'All retail facilities' that sell hemp products, and the statute defines a seller as one who distributes or sells 'to persons for personal consumption.' The law does not address applying Kannaco during care without a separate sale.

Common questions

Does the 21+ felony in 19-12E-12 apply to Kannaco?

Subsection (q) covers 'hemp-derived cannabinoid product,' a list of THC compounds, and 19-12E-12(b) excludes products without THC. WVDA still requires the 21+ statement on labels, which Kannaco handles. Source

If I sell only in my office, do I still register?

Yes, per WVDA: 'All retail facilities (including on-line retailers) are required to register' before selling hemp products. Registration runs January to December and is filed by mail. Source

Could 2026 legislation change this?

SB 808 (2026) proposed a consumable hemp framework; enactment was not confirmed in the sources reviewed. Source
