"Legal Cannabis Sparks Debate: Businesses and Law Enforcement Clash Over Permissible Sales"

Two days into the legalization of recreational marijuana in Minnesota, businesses and law enforcement are already clashing over what products can be sold. Faribault Police Chief John Sherwin seized nearly two dozen plants from a tobacco shop, arguing that they are "an instrument of a potential crime" despite not yet producing THC. Matt Little, the founder of a licensed hemp company, disagrees, stating that the plants are legal and contain no THC. The confusion stems from the lack of specific language in the new law regarding immature plants. Both sides are consulting with attorneys and prosecutors to determine the legality of the situation.
