Authorized cannabis retailers authorization to give away samples at cannabis event sales establishment

SF 2890 amends Minnesota law to allow licensed cannabis retailers to give away samples at cannabis events, which was previously prohibited. The bill permits retailers to offer one sample per product type (cannabis plants, flower, products, or edibles), with strict limits: samples cannot exceed 8 grams of flower/concentrate or 100mg THC in edibles. Samples must be stored in labeled containers, displayed securely, and not sold to anyone under 21 or visibly intoxicated. This change directly affects authorized cannabis retailers hosting events, modifying existing rules to permit controlled sampling while maintaining safety and age verification requirements.
