<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body style="overflow-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;">Hi Richard,<div><br></div><div>The CSA does apply to retail services, but you have the \u201cmagic .3% language\u201d included so your ID doesn\u2019t technically violate it. However, the ingestible CBD products violate the FDCA, so by extension, the retail services would also violate the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDCA).<br><div><br></div><div>Check out the Office Action for LIMITLESS CBD, Serial number 90630288. The ID is similar to yours and the OA lays out the issues/remedies for the CSA and FDCA in regards to the online retail store services.</div><div><br></div><div>On a positive note, the examiner would have allowed only the topical CBD lotions, creams, oils, etc. to proceed. So you can get half of your ID approved.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,<br><div>
