HF 1615 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Cannabis policy bill.

HF 1615 sets new safety rules for cannabis edibles in Minnesota. It limits THC to 5mg per serving for most edibles (10mg for beverages), bans child-appealing packaging (like cartoon designs or candy-like shapes), and requires clear labeling with serving size, cannabinoid content, and a "keep out of reach of children" warning. The bill directly affects cannabis businesses selling edibles and consumers purchasing them, while also creating specific rules for hemp-based "lower-potency" edibles sold as beverages or snacks. These provisions aim to reduce accessibility to children and improve product transparency.
