Status of Hemp and CBD products in Minnesota

  Minnesota legalized hemp and CBD products in January 2020, as long as they contained less than 0.3% delta-9 THC (abundant in marijuana plants but present only in trace amounts in hemp). However, the threshold did not apply to delta-8 and other forms of THC. To solve this, the new law establishes volume restrictions based on the weight of all forms of THC. Delta-8 THC is made by putting hemp-derived CBD through a synthetic process. Producers in Minnesota and around the U.S. took advantage of hemp's legalization in 2018 under the logic that CBD made from legal hemp flowers means delta-8 THC produced downstream is also permitted.

But, the state's specific hemp laws mean that residents must be more mindful when shopping for hemp-derived delta 9 THC. Delta-9 is a remarkable cannabinoid that many refer to as just "THC." Delta-9, made from hemp, is completely legal and available in Minnesota. As of this writing, Minnesotans can purchase hemp-derived pro...
