Both High-THC Hemp Products and Synthetic Cannabinoids are now classified as cannabis under State law and may only be sold by licensed cannabis establishments. If you do not hold a cannabis license issued by the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP), it is illegal to sell or offer cannabis, including synthetic cannabinoids, and high-THC hemp products.

It’s important for business owners to review the labels of all existing products containing THC to determine if any items are high-THC hemp products or if they contain synthetic cannabinoids. Please check with an attorney if you are unsure if it is lawful to sell a product. Retailers without a DCP cannabis license must remove all high-THC hemp products and products containing synthetic cannabinoids from their shelves and stop all sales of these products.

You may contact the product manufacturer or distributor to determine how best to proceed with unsold products.
