"Minnesota Sets Clear Path for Legalizing Marijuana"

Minnesota officials provided updates on the implementation of the state's new marijuana law, including the search for an Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) director and the expedited rulemaking process. While possession and home cultivation of cannabis by adults is now legal, it is expected to be nearly two years before state-licensed retailers open. The state is also in the process of selecting members for a Cannabis Advisory Council and gathering public input on various topics such as business licensing, packaging, and labeling requirements. Tribal governments have also adopted legalization, with the first legal cannabis sale in Minnesota taking place on a reservation. The state is closely monitoring these sales as it prepares for potential compacts with tribes.
