The world of cannabinoids and the legalization of cannabis throughout Minnesota is constantly evolving. New inroads into assisting lawmakers to understand the benefits of hemp-derived THC and other cannabinoids have opened the door to changes that have helped many people across the state with their health and wellness goals.
The Legal Issues
As of 2014, qualified individuals in the state can apply for a medical marijuana card and use cannabis for qualifying medical reasons. Cannabinoids, which are obtained from the hemp plant, have been legal for many years. These include CBD products that are readily available in many different stores and online retailers.
In July 2022, lawmakers in Minnesota legalized the use of hemp-derived THC in edibles and beverages. The amount of hemp-derived THC that can be present in THC infused drinks is 5mg per serving. Individuals can purchase these beverages online or at local retailers without being concerned about the legality of the purchase.
Consuming THC Infused Drinks
There are different types of THC infused drinks. Some of the most popular options are THC seltzers, which are light, bubbly, and great served over ice. These typically come in fruit flavors or combinations of traditional and exotic fruits and are free from sugars, calories, or other types of additives.
Other types of drinks that contain hemp-derived THC may have more of a juice base or unique flavor combinations. These drinks are meant to be enjoyed responsibly, as they do provide a different level of wellness benefits for each individual.
