Marijuana enthusiasts in Minnesota will be happy to learn that the state has added edibles to the state’s medical cannabis program starting in August of 2022.
This means gummies, chews, and other edibles will be available late next year.
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) announced that infused edibles would be legal under the medical cannabis program starting Aug. 1, 2022.
The state previously announced it would allow smokable forms of dried, raw cannabis for registered users under the medical program starting in March 2022.
Currently, the state’s program only allows pills, vapor oils, liquids, topicals, powdered mixtures, and lozenge-type dissolvable products.
“Expanding delivery methods to gummies and chews will mean more options for patients who cannot tolerate current available forms of medical cannabis,” MDH Commissioner Jan Malcolm stated.
MDH will now begin a formal rulemaking process to determine the requirements for labeling, packaging and safety for makers of edible products.
The state’s medical cannabis program did not add any additional qualifying conditions to the program for 2021.
