INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS Minnesota A first-of-its-kind law allowing adult-use THC sales in outlets other than medical marijuana dispensaries took effect July 1 in Minnesota, one of several states where statues have changed the rules for hemp-derived products such as delta-8 THC. Minnesota's law limits CBD and delta-8 THC sales to adults older than 21 and sets new testing requirements for hemp extracts. But the statute also allows those products to be sold in grocery and convenience stores. Mississippi Medical cannabis regulators opened the licensing-application process for growers, processors, testing facilities and transporters, but it could be year-end before sales start. That's in line with the timeline expected when lawmakers passed a restrictive medical cannabis law in January. There's no cap on the number of licenses to be issued, but the law allowed municipalities to opt out. Eighty municipalities and 19 counties had decided to ban dispensaries as of May 23, according to the state Department of Revenue.http://www.oakwoodchemical.com http://www.oakwoodchemical.com
