SF2174

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.
