MN Cannabis Hub - March 13, 2026

Welcome back to the MN Cannabis Hub podcast! This week, we're diving into the latest developments from the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management, including revised draft rules for packaging and labeling that could bring more clarity to consumers and highlight locally grown products. We're also tracking the progress of the Social Equity in Cannabis Act amendments as legislators work to make the market more accessible and equitable for all. Your voice is crucial in these conversations, and we share how you can get involved and provide public comment on the new proposals. On the business front, the market is booming! We celebrate the grand opening of Northwoods Wellness in Duluth and look forward to the launch of Legacy Leaf in Rochester next month. We also explore one of the hottest trends in the industry: the rise of cannabis-infused beverages and how local breweries are getting in on the action. After the news, we switch gears for an educational segment breaking down the science and magic of terpenes. Learn how these aromatic compounds like Myrcene, Limonene, and Linalool shape your experience and how to use that knowledge on your next dispensary visit. Finally, we're giving you the details on the can't-miss Minnesota Cannabis Growers & Makers Expo happening in April.
