Minnesota Statute 151.72 Takes Effect
Hemp-derived THC edibles and beverages became legally available for sale in Minnesota on July 1, 2022. Retailers across the state began selling products including THC gummies, beverages, and tinctures to adults 21 and older, creating a new commercial market virtually overnight.
On July 1, 2022, Minnesota's hemp-derived THC market officially launched. Convenience stores, liquor stores, smoke shops, and specialty retailers began selling hemp-derived THC edibles and beverages.

This created both economic opportunity and regulatory challenges that would inform the comprehensive legalization effort in 2023.
