Prior to launching an ecommerce store where federally regulated products are sold and shipped via interstate commerce, it’s important to understand some basic rules of the game.
- The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines strictly prohibit the use of certain words and phrases in online and print marketing materials that could be interpreted as unsubstantiated medical claims. *Reference sources shown below:
- FTC Publication:
“Companies made unsupported claims that their oils, balms, gummies, coffee, and other goods could treat serious diseases such as cancer and diabetes.”

However, the definition of “consumable hemp product” does not include smokable products. HB 1325 expressly prohibits the processing and manufacture of products “containing hemp for
