Bill > SF3925

This bill clarifies the criminal penalty for the use and possession of cannabis by persons under 21 years of age in Minnesota. It creates new misdemeanor offenses for the unlawful use and possession of cannabis flower, cannabis products, lower-potency hemp edibles, and hemp-derived consumer products by individuals under the age of 21. The bill also amends existing laws to specify the types and amounts of cannabis that constitute a "juvenile controlled substance offense" and a "juvenile petty offense" for those under 21. The effective date for these changes is August 1, 2024, and they apply to acts committed on or after that date.
