The state's newly inked adult-use marijuana statute also provides legal protection for manufacturers and sellers of the controversial hemp-based cannabinoids. When Governor Tim Walz (DFL) added his signature to Minnesota's adult-use cannabis legalization bill last week, he not only made his home state the 23rd to legalize recreational marijuana sales to adults 21 and older in the United States but also gave his executive approval to several other essential provisions, particularly for the Minnesota hemp industry.

As first reported by mjbizdaily , a new measure under consideration in the State House would restrict the sale of delta-8 THC products to individuals 21 and older. In addition, those same items would have to comply with new testing and labeling requirements under the proposed legislation.      The bill, HB 544, which Republican state Rep. Rebecca Raymer sponsors, was unanimously ratified by the Kentucky House with a 97-0 vote last Thursday, according to the Associated Press . Like many states struggling...
