Through dozens of bills, Minnesota lawmakers look to carve out cannabis regulations

Minnesota lawmakers are actively working on establishing a comprehensive regulatory framework for recreational cannabis through numerous bills introduced in the state legislature. These bills address various aspects of cannabis legalization, including the regulation of cultivation, distribution, and sales, as well as public use, taxation, and social equity measures. Key points include setting up a licensing system for cannabis businesses, defining allowable THC levels, and creating measures to expunge prior cannabis convictions.
