Cannabis Businesses and Uses <br />Minnesota State Statute sets a definition for the term "cannabis business." The use of this term <br />means the following uses: <br />(1) cannabis microbusiness; <br />(2) cannabis mezzobusiness; <br />(3) cannabis cultivator; <br />(4) cannabis manufacturer; <br />(5) cannabis retailer; <br />(6) cannabis wholesaler; <br />(7) cannabis transporter; <br />(8) cannabis testing facility; <br />(9) cannabis event organizer; <br />(10) cannabis delivery service; <br />(11) medical cannabis cultivator; <br />(12) medical cannabis processor; <br />(13) medical cannabis retailer; and <br />(14) medical cannabis combination business. <br />These "businesses" correlate with the types of licenses that will be available from the OCM. <br />Without amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, all cannabis uses are considered permitted. In terms <br />of zoning, we can narrow this list by looking at what activity is a part of each type of cannabis <br />business. <br />Use <br />Grow <br />Sell to <br />a� <br />Microbusiness <br />X <br />X <br />X <br />X <br />X <br />X <br />X <br />Mezzobusiness <br />X <br />X <br />X <br />X <br />X <br />X <br />Cultivator <br />X <br />X <br />X <br />X <br />X <br />Manufacturer <br />X <br />X <br />X <br />Retailer <br />X <br />r. <br />Wholesaler <br />X <br />a <br />Testing <br />X <br />Event <br />X <br />X <br />Transporter <br />NA <br />Delivery Services <br />NA <br />Microbusiness and mezzobusinesses are the two unique use names within cannabis.
