Minnesota Regulatory Landscape

Minnesota legalized medical marijuana on May 29, 2014, when Governor Mark Dayton signed the Minnesota Medical Cannabis Act into law. The state’s medical program officially launched on July 1, 2015, allowing registered patients to access cannabis products from state-approved dispensaries to treat a set of nine qualifying medical conditions, which has since been expanded to 15. The program was regulated and administered by the Minnesota Department of Health, which oversaw all cultivation, production, and distribution facilities. The state authorized only two vertically integrated medical cannabis manufacturer licenses—LeafLine Labs and Minnesota Medical Solutions. Initially, each manufacturer was permitted up to four distribution facilities across the state; Minnesota now allows a manufacturer to operate eight distribution facilities, which may include the manufacturer’s single location for cultivation, manufacturing, packaging, and processing, although including that location is not required.

Medical cannabis was initially provided to patients in several forms, including dried cannabis, liquid formulations, pills, and topical (lotions, balms, and patches); it was also delivered via vaporized delivery methods that did not require the use of dried leaves, as well as in water-soluble cannabinoid multi-particulates ( e.g. , granules, powders, and sprinkles) and orally dissolvable products ( e.g. , lozenges, gums, mints, buccal tablets, and sublingual tablets).

Minnesota has implemented a process for monitoring and evaluating the health impacts of medical cannabis on patients which will be used to help patients and health professionals grow their understanding of the benefits, risks, and side effects of medical cannabis.
