Remember a few months ago when the people in charge of laws in Minnesota passed one that allows gummies and beverages to have small amounts of THC in them? Yep, that really happened and some are saying it was an accident.  That happy little accident is now helping companies make money, including a brewery in Rochester, Minnesota.

When Did Minnesota Legalize Selling THC Products?

According to a story posted by Rochester's News-Talk KROC 1340 AM and 96.9 FM on June 29th, 2022, the new law that went into effect July 1st, 2022 indicates that beverages "may not contain more than 5 mg of THC per serving or more than 50 mg per package".

As far as "accident", it seems like our lawmakers got a bit confused when this law was in the works.  I can't stand politics so reading about what happens was like fingers on a chalkboard for me but if you like that sort of thing, you can read a little bit about the "accident" at vice.com.
