MN Health Issues THC Warning

By Doug Barrett Dec 14, 2023 | 7:24 AM

The Minnesota Department of Health is warning the public to about consuming hemp-derived cannabinoid products containing doses of THC above the state legal limit. The legal limit for hemp-derived cannabinoid products in Minnesota is 5 mg/serving and 50 mg/package for edibles.

These products are produced by a variety of manufacturers and if consumed can lead to adverse health effects, such as becoming unresponsive, seizures, or psychotic episodes.

Recent inspections of retailers selling hemp-derived products found these illegal high-dose products in 39% of establishments.

Retailers who sell non-compliant products that exceed the state legal limit for THC could face fines of up to $10,000 per incident.

MDH urges consumers to shop with caution and read labels closely.
