Legislation would create temporary licenses for cannabis businesses in Minnesota

Minnesota’s Office of Cannabis Management is proposing changes to the state’s marijuana law, including one that would allow the issuance of a set number of temporary licenses.

Those licenses would cover everything from cultivation to testing to retail and delivery operations.

The goal of issuing those temporary licenses, the office said, would be to give those businesses “the clarity they need to establish business operations and be prepared for market launch” once regulatory rules are finalized, likely in 2025.
