Minnesota is looking to hire a director for the Office of Cannabis Management. The director will be responsible for building the new state agency and regulating the new adult-use cannabis market in Minnesota.
On May 30th Governor Tim Walz signed legislation making Minnesota the 23rd state to legalize recreational pot.
The law establishes the OCM to regulate cannabis, including for the adult-use market, the Medical Cannabis Program, and for lower-potency hemp edibles. The OCM will be responsible for issuing licenses and developing regulations outlining how and when businesses can participate in the industry.
Applications are now being accepted for the position through July 31st. The goal is to name a director by fall.
