Minnesota Legalizes Hemp-Derived THC Products (Statute 151.72)
Governor Walz signed HF 3595 into law, which included amendments to Minnesota Statute 151.72 explicitly legalizing the sale of hemp-derived THC edibles and beverages. Products were limited to 5mg THC per serving and 50mg per package. This was the first time any U.S. state explicitly authorized the legal sale of THC products regardless of origin.
Embedded within a broader health and human services omnibus bill (HF 3595), the amendments to Minnesota Statute 151.72 created a regulated framework for hemp-derived THC products. The law established serving size limits (5mg THC per serving, 50mg per package), age restrictions (21+), and packaging/labeling requirements. The Board of Pharmacy was given initial regulatory authority. This law was historic nationally — while other states had ambiguous hemp product laws, Minnesota became the first to explicitly and intentionally legalize the commercial sale of THC-containing products derived from hemp.
