Cannabis seems to be on everyone’s mind, including the Todd County Board of Commissioners as they discussed and approved two public hearings—September 19 and October 17—to get public input/discussion on this topic.
Background: The Minnesota Legislature passed the adult-use cannabis bill this session, legalizing the use, possession, and sale of cannabis in Minnesota. The possession and personal growing of cannabis became legal August 1, 2023, and retail, agricultural, and manufacturing cannabis businesses is proposed to become licensed sometime in early 2025.
Local governments have time to consider zoning needs, licensing needs, fees, law enforcement training needs, and other issues. However, with the legal use occurring on August 1, 2023, Todd County may want to consider regulating whether cannabis can be used in public places at this time.
The proposed ordinance prohibits the use of cannabis in public places and places of public accommodation. . .
