Minnesota to Add Infused Edibles to Medical Cannabis Program

Minnesota medical cannabis patients will soon be able to access infused edibles in the form of gummies or chews. The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) announced that the new product offerings will become effective Aug. 1, 2022. 

"Expanding delivery methods to gummies and chews will mean more options for patients who cannot tolerate current available forms of medical cannabis," said Jan Malcolm, Minnesota commissioner of health, in a press release.

Beginning March 2022, medical cannabis patients will also have access to flower; a "rulemaking for dried raw cannabis is also currently in process," the release states.

Additionally, that state did not add any new qualifying conditions to its medical cannabis program this year.
