While state legislators DID make several changes to some of Minnesota's long-standing laws, they didn't touch the law that makes it illegal for grocery stores to sell these two popular items.
The Minnesota bill would allow patients age 18 and older who are suffering terminal illnesses and have less than six months to live obtain drugs they could take to end their own lives.
Several new laws went into effect on January 1st, 2024 in Minnesota. But these two items still remain banned at Minnesota grocery and convenience stores.
Mayo Clinic previously warned state lawmakers and the governor that approving the bill in its current form could jeopardize billions of dollars worth of investments in Minnesota.
