Stat. Section 151.72) was enacted effective July 1, 2022 making it legal to sell <br />certain edibles and beverages infused with THC, the cannabis ingredient extracted from hemp for <br />human or animal consumption.

This means any business in Arden Hills, <br />with the exception of Cub Discount Liquor, legally can sell THC products right now. <br />While cities cannot prohibit the sale of edible cannabinoids entirely, they can adopt certain <br />regulations and/or create a new license for sale of these products, similar to tobacco and other <br />business licenses. It is important to note that should a city wish to require a license for the sale of <br />THC products, the LMC recommends that this license be completely separate from tobacco as the <br />regulations are quite different and unique to each. The LMC does also provide for various <br />considerations when drafting regulations for licensing such as the areas where the products can be
