SF2174 (Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026))

Office of Cannabis Management enforcement of THC content and potency limitations requirement provision

AI Generated Summary

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to require the Office of Cannabis Management to enforce (rather than just establish) THC content and potency limitations for cannabis and hemp-derived products. It specifies maximum THC content for various product types, including:

  • Cannabis concentrates (liquid or solid) must not exceed 30% total THC.
  • Lower-potency hemp edibles and hemp-derived consumer products must not contain more than 2.5 mg of THC.
  • Topical and transdermal cannabis and hemp products must not exceed 500 mg of THC.
  • Cannabis flower marketed for adult use must not exceed 10% total THC.

Additionally, the bill prohibits approval of cannabis flower or pre-rolls infused with extra THC or other psychoactive cannabinoids. It also bans products that:

  • Resemble lollipops or ice cream.
  • Feature likenesses of people, animals, or fruit.
  • Mimic food products marketed to children.
  • Resemble meat, poultry, or dairy products.
  • Contain synthetic cannabinoids.
  • Have cannabinoids applied to finished non-cannabis food items (such as snacks or candies).
  • Contain non-FDA-approved food ingredients.

The goal of the bill is to regulate cannabis product potency and prevent products that could appeal to children or contain unapproved ingredients.
