Helping Your Cannabis Business Thrive

Minnesota’s ever-changing laws and regulations governing the cannabis industry perfectly illustrate the unwieldy expectations regulators are placing on cannabis-based businesses across the country. While detailing the basic structure of cannabis regulation, Minnesota’s new law is littered with references to the creation of additional rules, regulations, and requirements to be handed down by a board that has not yet been created. How will new rules impact businesses built before those rules came into effect? Will business owners have a grace period to get compliant with new rules? How are business owners supposed to know when new rules are promulgated and whether they apply to a specific business? These are the questions our clients are asking. The answer is that nobody can know – yet. But having a relationship with experienced legal counsel will ensure your business is ready to react when action becomes necessary. When you choose to work with Ohnstad Twichell, you position yourself to benefit from:
