A new bill introduced today in the Minnesota Senate would allow licensed marijuana retailers to provide free samples at cannabis-related events.
Under the proposed legislation, authorized cannabis retailers participating in cannabis events—such as microbusinesses, mezzobusinesses, and lower-potency hemp edible retailers—would be allowed to give away samples of marijuana and marijuana-derived products, a move currently prohibited under state law.
According to the bill, only one sample of each product may be displayed or offered, and samples must be clearly labeled and securely stored. Limits are also placed on the sample size, including a cap of eight grams for flower or concentrates and 100 milligrams of THC for infused edibles.
