First look at state rules for businesses [Video]

ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) – The Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), tasked with overseeing Minnesota’s legal recreational marijuana industry, has unveiled its first draft of regulatory proposals that will govern how businesses operate within the state.

The 111-page document is the OCM’s first proposal, and will be used to seek public input on how the industry should run as businesses receive licenses to operate adult-use cannabis, medical cannabis and lower-potency hemp edible businesses within the state.

According to the OCM, the rules “reflect a desire to construct a regulatory environment that focuses on outcomes, and affords the autonomy to choose the best path to compliance.”

The rules are designed to apply to all license tiers, and hope to minimize regulation duplication, OCM says.

A public feedback window is open now until Aug. 30, and people can submit their input here.
