Minnesota Sues Dispensary Selling THC 50 Times the Legal Limit

The state of Minnesota is taking its time rolling out retail marijuana sales, so some retailers have decided to just start selling it. In response, the state has now filed its first lawsuit in order to stop it.

Minnesota's Office of Cannabis Management is working on issuing licenses for growers and retailers in the state, and while they've been working though that process, some retailers have put THC joints, flower, and vapes for sale, despite not being legally allowed to.

Minnesota Moves on Retailer Selling THC Products 50 Times the Legal Limit

Zaza Dispensary, with a few shops in the Twin Cities, is the recipient of the lawsuit, which claims that the retailer is selling THC products that are over 50 times the legal limit. As of now, retailers in Minnesota can only sell products with less than 0.3% THC, they were selling items with up to 23%.

According to FOX 9, the Office of Cannabis Management inspected Zaza Dispensary several times, both routine and because of complaints, and they refused to comply with the law. So, the Office of Cannabis Management decided to "escalate our enforcement action" by filing the lawsuit.

Minnesota's First Marijuana Lawsuit

While this is the first lawsuit from the Office of Cannabis Management, they have enforced the law with other businesses throughout the state with fines, and asking businesses to destroy illegal products.
