Cannabis business licensing provisions modified, cannabis macrobusiness license established.
This bill modifies Minnesota's cannabis business licensing framework by introducing a new cannabis macrobusiness license category alongside existing license types such as microbusiness, mezzobusiness, and manufacturer licenses. The legislation updates state statutes to formally recognize the macrobusiness classification and expands the definition of medical cannabinoid products to include hemp-derived concentrates without potency restrictions. Additionally, the bill prohibits home extraction of cannabis concentrate using volatile solvents unless performed by a licensed business entity. These changes directly affect current and prospective cannabis operators by altering licensing requirements and regulatory definitions for both adult-use and medical cannabis businesses.
