Tennessee Hemp Act rules limit how hemp cannabinoid products are marketed near children and require child-resistant packaging. Nashville does not impose specific dispensary buffer zones because marijuana sales are not legal and hemp retail follows state rules.
Under the 2023 Tennessee Hemp Act and TDA emergency rules, hemp-derived cannabinoid products like Delta-8 cannot be marketed in ways appealing to children, including cartoon characters, candy-shape mimicry, or claims targeting minors. Retailers must keep products behind the counter or in age-restricted areas and verify ID for purchasers under 30. Nashville Metro Code does not impose marijuana-specific school or park buffers, since dispensaries are not authorized; vape and tobacco retailers face their own state rules. Local zoning treats hemp shops as general retail uses subject to standard sign and parking requirements in Title 17.
Marketing hemp cannabinoid products to minors, ignoring ID checks, missing child-resistant packaging, or operating without a TDA license can lead to license revocation and state consumer protection action.
