AI Generated Summary

This Minnesota Senate bill (S.F. No. 2174) proposes amendments to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 342.06, subdivision 1, to enhance regulations on THC content and potency limits enforced by the Office of Cannabis Management. The key provisions include:

  1. THC Content and Potency Limits

    • Cannabis concentrates (liquid or solid) for adult-use markets must not exceed 30% total THC content.
    • Cannabis flower for adult-use markets must not exceed 10% total THC content.
    • Lower-potency hemp edibles and hemp-derived consumer products must not exceed 2.5 mg of THC per serving.

    • The Office must not approve any cannabis product, hemp edible, or hemp-derived product that:
      • Resembles lollipops or ice cream.
      • Bears the likeness of a person, animal, or fruit.
      • Imitates products marketed to children.
