Legalizing low-dose THC edibles in Minnesota in 2022 has prompted the state’s breweries to produce THC drinks and create a new revenue stream.
The state’s Republican senator thought the law was designed to regulate Delta-8 THC products but was unaware it would legalize more potent Delta-9 THC edibles.
Minnesota allows the sale of THC edibles at concert venues, restaurants, bottle shops, tobacco stores, and bars.
- Local producers of THC seltzers have discovered workarounds by creating cans with four 3mg servings per can.
- “Low dose” can feel like a misnomer since a can of THC seltzer with 10mg can be a lot for casual imbibers.
- Breweries have experienced a significant increase in revenue.
- THC drinks accounted for 13% of bar revenue at TLT and 40% of Modist Brewing’s taproom sales.
- Strong THC sales have reportedly helped some breweries avoid going out of business.
