Can someone answer this for me? I’ve been researching for a week and not finding the answers I need (obviously not looking in the right place) Can you legally send flavor shots (no nicotine, only pg and flavor concentrates) to people. Obviously I KNOW you can give away flavor concentrates, but I’m talking about pre-mixed flavor concentrates. I’m working on an idea for my show and need to know what I’m ‘publicly’ allowed to do.
To give a reference … say I was mixing up someone’s recipe and wanted to have a giveaway of that so the winner could try it. Is it legal?
You can send anything you want in the mail (with the right documents, if those are needed), Michelle.
Based on what you want to do…
I would suggest grab a business license, ins and look into LLC… in case something goes wrong and someone gets lawsuit happy. Up to you. As of now, there isn’t much anyone can do to stop you. I would say keep an ear out, as I do know they are cracking down on mail via scans etc… only a matter of time before someone does some dumb crap and ruins it for everyone. This is why I am pushing for my shots to “go legit” thru a reputable company. I suggest anyone looking for that, to find your own path.
Stay safe and protect yourself. Happy idea but people can be dumb.
I would also check in with the recipe author and make sure it is alright to do giveaways with their recipes… just a nice thing to do… I know I already told you if any of my public ones are what you want… go for it…
I agree with @anon84779643. I don’t think there would be an issue shipping but best to protect yourself from the receiver. Once you mix it and ship it as a giveaway you become the producer of said product.
All of which is different from sending something to friend or person online for free.
I know that the above is a fine line but one I wouldn’t cross without legal protection.
It’s all in the wording of each state or other jurisdiction “decrees”. I’ve yet to read any fully implemented decree. The drafts of some such as MA seem very akin to “drug” laws although I did not read anything regarding transportation across state lines and other possible stipulations. Right now I would avoid posting or otherwise publishing any plans simply to avoid complications. What no one needs is for some trolling flavor pig to tag them in anticipation of a flavor sting. Staying under the radar would be a good approach.
Sounds great Michele. All I can help out with is my own state. Far as I know, the Feds haven’t imposed specific regulations so it’s falling on the states if they want to do something. Better yet, do nothing.
Can’t say that any better.
