Omnibus Cannabis Policy Bill

Related bill: HF1615

AI Generated Summary

This bill proposes amendments to Minnesota's cannabis regulations, specifically regarding the limits and packaging requirements of Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in edible cannabinoid products and lower-potency hemp edibles, with a focus on those intended to be consumed as beverages.

Key Provisions:

  1. Packaging and Labeling Regulations:

    • Edible cannabinoid products cannot have packaging or designs that appeal to children or resemble commercial food products.
    • Packaging must be child-resistant, tamper-evident, and opaque, except for beverages.
    • Labels must include serving size, cannabinoid profile, ingredient list (including allergens), and a warning: “Keep this product out of reach of children.”
  2. THC Limits:

    • Standard edible cannabinoid products:
      • Maximum of 5 mg of THC per serving.
      • Maximum of 50 mg of THC per package.
    • Beverages:
      • Maximum of 10 mg of THC per serving container.
      • Maximum of 2 servings per container.
  3. Ingredient Restrictions:

    • Edibles can contain Delta-8 or Delta-9 THC derived from hemp but cannot contain artificial cannabinoids (such as THCP, THCO, or HHC) unless specifically authorized.
    • No synthetic cannabinoids are allowed.
  4. Sales and Display Requirements:

    • Edible cannabinoid products must be stored behind the checkout counter or in locked cases.
    • Beverages are excluded from this requirement.
  5. Lower-Potency Hemp Edibles Adjustments:

    • Products must contain:
      • No more than 5 mg of Delta-9 THC per serving.
      • No more than 10 mg of Delta-9 THC per single-serving beverage.
    • Lower-potency hemp edibles must indicate serving sizes through scoring, wrapping, or markings.
    • When packaged with multiple servings, total THC content must not exceed 50 mg per package.

Purpose:

The bill aims to enhance consumer safety, prevent marketing to children, standardize potency limits, and regulate packaging and labeling more strictly, especially for cannabis-infused beverages.
