AI Generated Summary
The bill S.F. No. 1820 amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 342.06, subdivision 1, to prohibit the approval of added flavors in inhaled cannabis products. Specifically, it states that the Office of Cannabis Management shall not approve any inhaled natural or synthetic cannabis product that contains an added flavor, such as fruit, mint, menthol, vanilla, chocolate, spice, or other common food flavors. Additionally, cannabis products cannot have images or language suggesting they have flavors other than cannabis itself.
Other existing restrictions on cannabis products remain, including prohibitions on products that resemble candy, target children, contain synthetic cannabinoids, or use unapproved food ingredients.
This bill aims to regulate flavored inhaled cannabis products, likely to reduce appeal to minors and prevent misleading marketing.
