Minnesota accidentally legalizes THC (delta-8) edibles and beverages

[carbonel]

Today's Minnesota Strib email news roundup informed me that the sale of THC-laced edibles and beverages will become legal tomorrow. This is rather a surprise, since the state legislature refused to legalize recreational marijuana several times, and has quite a stringent policy on medical marijuana. The article implies the legislators didn't quite realize what they were doing. They seem to have legalized the sale without explicitly legalizing possession. But one apparently implies the other.

If I understand the situation correctly, the bill was worded in the form of controlling delta-9, but the upshot was to legalize the sale of delta-8.
