Two years ago, state lawmakers in Minnesota voted to partially legalise cannabis, with little attention paid to a provision in a massive health care policy bill that allowed the sale of low-potency, hemp-derived beverages. This seemingly minor change has led to a significant transformation in the legal weed industry, culminating in an unprecedented surge in the market for THC-infused drinks.

Today, nearly every liquor store in Minnesota offers these intoxicating cannabis beverages. Struggling craft breweries have eagerly adopted this opportunity, developing new product lines infused with cannabis, and even high-end restaurants, hair salons, and iconic venues like First Avenue are selling these potent beverages.
