As the sun starts shining brighter and our calendars fill with outdoor festivities, Wright County residents need to be clued up on the dos and don'ts regarding cannabis consumption this summer. With events like the Wright County Fair and Concerts in the Park on the horizon, a heads-up from the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) is more than just a buzz-kill—it's essential info for staying on the right side of the law.
Bringing clarity to the legal haze, OCM reminds everyone that only those with a license to organize cannabis events can legally host gatherings where Mary Jane is the guest of honor. And for foodies hoping to get a little extra from their fair fare, there's some bad news. According to a statement released by Wright County Public Health, combining edible cannabis, products, or hemp-derived goodies with food is a no-go in Minnesota. To put it bluntly, this means that classic cannabis confections like weed brownies are off the menu—legally speaking, that is.
But it's not all buzzkill and regulations. Summer 2025 still promises to be a time of joyful gathering, music, and bright Minnesotan skies. The key message from officials is to enjoy responsibly and to stay informed. Those hosting or attending summer events are encouraged to check the rules set forth by the OCM to ensure everyone can relish the season without ruffling legal feathers.
For individuals eager to navigate the legalities or simply curious about what's changed in the cannabis landscape, up-to-date guidelines provided by OCM are available with a single click. To learn everything you need to know about what's allowed and what's not at public events this summer, a visit to the OCM’s event guidelines is in order. Because when it comes to cannabis, being in the know is always the best way to ensure fun times stay within the lines drawn by the law.
