Medical cannabis combination business plant canopy increase to cultivate cannabis sold as medical cannabis flower or medical cannabinoid products provision

This bill increases the allowable cultivation space for medical cannabis combination businesses from 60,000 to 90,000 square feet of plant canopy. It directly affects licensed businesses that grow cannabis sold as medical flower or medical cannabinoid products. To exceed the base limit, businesses must apply to the state office and demonstrate a legitimate market need, ability to meet licensing requirements, and capacity to cultivate the requested additional space. The change modifies Minnesota Statutes section 342.515, subdivision 2, which governs cultivation size limits for these specific medical cannabis operations.
