Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed a bill on June 2nd that is slowly opening the door to full legalization of cannabis in the state by redefining cannabis laws. Local advocated find the move very promising. Soon, it will be legal for retail CBD establishments to distribute products with THC as long as they adhere to the state regulations.
Beginning August 1st, 2022, CBD businesses can legally sell all cannabinoid edibles, drinks, and topicals containing THC as long as each dose remains under 5mg., and the entire package does not exceed 50 mgs. Products must also stay within the federal limit of .3% THC, as well.
Along with these changes, the products must go through new testing procedures, with special labeling and packaging.
CBD Centers, a retail business of Minnesota that has weathered the changing cannabis markets while others failed, told local news affiliate KEYC they are ready for this change. They already have a manufacturing plant in Waseca, Minnesota to help meet the new demand expected and look forward to their growth in this budding industry. CBD Center owners have been noted saying that they believe this new law will “destigmatize their products and urge other states to trust Minnesota-grown products.”
