Bill > SF2890

This bill modifies existing Minnesota cannabis event sales regulations to allow authorized cannabis retailers to give away samples at cannabis events. Specifically, the bill removes language that previously prohibited retailers from giving away cannabis plants, flower, products, hemp edibles, or consumer products. The existing law already allows retailers to display one sample of each type of product in a sample jar or display case, with strict limitations on sample size (no more than eight grams of flower or concentrate, or edibles with no more than 100 milligrams of THC). The bill maintains other important existing regulations such as requiring age verification (21+ only), prohibiting sales to visibly intoxicated individuals, and ensuring all products are properly labeled and tracked in the statewide monitoring system. This change appears to provide more flexibility for cannabis retailers at events by explicitly permitting sample giveaways, which were previously prohibited, while maintaining consumer safety and regulatory oversight.
