The resolution directs the Legislative Management of North Dakota to explore the regulatory framework and potential economic implications of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) infused beverages. It acknowledges that the North Dakota Department of Agriculture oversees the regulation of hemp and cannabis sativa for agricultural and industrial purposes, and notes that THC in these beverages is often derived from hemp, which is federally legal to produce. The resolution highlights the growing popularity of THC-infused beverages as an alternative to alcoholic drinks, which may offer fewer aftereffects.

Furthermore, the resolution mandates that the Legislative Management conduct this study and subsequently report its findings and recommendations, including any necessary legislation, to the Seventieth Legislative Assembly. This initiative aims to ensure that the state is adequately prepared to address the emerging market for THC-infused beverages and to understand its potential economic impact.
