The bill S.F. No. 2370 establishes the Office of Cannabis Management in Minnesota, aimed at fostering a government-to-government relationship with Tribal governments and enhancing the regulation of cannabis and hemp products. It introduces new provisions for the sale and regulation of cannabinoids, including specific limits on delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in edible products and the allowance for sample sales at cannabis events. The bill also updates medical cannabis regulations, shifting oversight from the commissioner to the newly established office, which will handle manufacturer registrations, patient notifications, and compliance with safety standards. Additionally, it includes provisions for expungement and resentencing for felony cannabis offenses, reflecting a commitment to social justice within the cannabis regulatory framework.

Key amendments in the bill include the introduction of definitions for lower-potency hemp edibles and the establishment of licensing structures for cannabis businesses, including wholesalers and retailers. It emphasizes compliance with local zoning laws and allows local governments to impose reasonable restrictions on cannabis operations. The bill also enhances protections for patients in the medical cannabis registry, ensuring they are not discriminated against in employment, housing, or custody matters due to their cannabis use. Furthermore, it mandates detailed labeling and packaging requirements for cannabis products, aiming to improve consumer safety and transparency in the market. Overall, the legislation represents a comprehensive overhaul of Minnesota's cannabis laws, focusing on regulation, safety, and social equity.
