Kansas Cannabis History

Cannabis use in Kansas is fully illegal, with the exception of THC-free CBD oil. CBD oil was legalized in 2018 with the passage of SB 282 which exempted CBD oil from the definition of marijuana.

In 2019, Claire and Lola’s law allows patients with specific diagnosed illnesses to possess CBD products containing up to 5 percent THC.

Most recently in 2021, SB92, a medical cannabis bill was introduced. If passed, this bill would allow registered patients to use, grow, and safely access medical cannabis, making Kansas the 37th state to legalize medical cannabis.

Kansas Child-Resistant Packaging Rules

With nebulous state laws surrounding the production and sale of CBD products, it's difficult to determine the exact requirements for child-resistant packaging in Kansas. However, the following general requirements should be included on the label or packaging of all CBD products:

CBD form (broad-spectrum, isolate)
Amount of active CBD per serving
Net weight
Suggested use
Supplemental Facts label, including other ingredients
Manufacturer/distributor name
Date or batch code

Federal standards outlined in The Poison Prevention Packaging Act would also apply.

Please refer to §1700.15 Poison prevention packaging standards for additional details on child-safe packaging and labeling requirements.
