ST PAUL, Minn. – Minnesota’s new marijuana bills are raising concerns about the availability of a legal supply when retailers launch next year. The proposed legislation includes a lottery system for licenses, potentially allowing new businesses equal chance alongside existing ones. There are also questions about the dual supply chain for recreational and medical users, with some worried about a slow or tiered issuance of licenses. Additionally, the bill adds autism spectrum disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) to the list of qualifying conditions for medical marijuana, a move that has sparked debate among lawmakers and medical professionals.
