HF1844

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 342.06, subdivision 1, to prohibit the approval of certain types of cannabis and hemp products. Specifically, the bill prevents the approval of any inhaled cannabis product that contains an added flavor, such as fruit, mint, menthol, vanilla, chocolate, spice, or other common food flavors.

Additionally, the bill reinforces restrictions on other types of cannabis products that: - Resemble lollipops or ice cream, - Feature images or characteristics of real or fictional people, animals, or fruit, - Mimic products primarily marketed to children, - Resemble meat, poultry, or dairy products, - Contain synthetic cannabinoids, - Are made by applying cannabinoids to non-cannabis food products (e.g., candy or snacks), - Include ingredients not approved by the FDA for food use, - Have packaging or branding implying flavors other than cannabis.

The bill aims to regulate cannabis and hemp-derived products to prevent appeal to children and restrict flavored inhalable cannabis products.
