Liquor wholesalers authorized to purchase and sell lower-potency hemp edibles.

HF 1735 allows licensed liquor wholesalers in Minnesota to purchase and sell lower-potency hemp edibles, effective April 1, 2025. Wholesalers must register with the state office and follow strict rules for packaging, labeling, transportation, and record-keeping. They can buy from specific hemp manufacturers and sell to hemp retailers, cannabis microbusinesses with retail licenses, and other authorized sellers. The bill does not affect cannabis sales but expands product types liquor wholesalers may handle under existing licensing. This creates a new regulatory pathway for hemp edibles within the state’s current liquor and hemp framework.
