EGF council reviews recreational THC laws

With recreational marijuana just a signature away from becoming law in Minnesota the East Grand Forks council is looking at how to deal with change – as well as existing edibles and beverages infused with THC.

There are already a couple of business have already started selling the lower strength hemp products.

City Attorney Ron Galstad says one option is putting a moratorium in place until an ordinance can be drafted. It could be modeled in similar fashion to alcohol and tobacco. Galstad says it will likely be at least a year before dispensaries are ready to roll.

Council member Tim Riopelle says he’s concerned about enforcement.  “I listened to most of the legislature on this and they have no clue how to enforce this.”

Galstad says he’ll have additional information about the proposed legislation in the coming weeks.
