The Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison claimed that his aim was to protect Minnesota’s hemp THC industries when he spoke out. The letterhead is a spearhead The petition was submitted on October 24 and asked Congress to criminalize all products containing synthetic derivatives of hemp.

The letter did not provide a recommendation for what the new federal definition should entail, but rather, the signers asked federal lawmakers to use the appropriations process or farm bill reauthorization as a vehicle to ban products containing “intoxicating levels of THC – of any kind and no matter how it is derived.”
Ellison explained that, five days later on October 29, he was aware of the confusion caused by his letter and wanted to explain why he orchestrated it.
Ellison said in Substack: “I am and I will continue to be a strong supporter of Minnesota’s THC edibles industry, which follows the state laws, helps businesses, farmers and entrepreneurs throughout Minnesota and produces products people love.” Post by. “One of my primary motivations for signing the letter was to help ensure that this industry will continue to flourish.”
Ellison made a point of Minnesota’s laws governing edibles containing THC that is derived from hemp. took effect Before the State legalized adult-use marijuana in July 2022. Hemp is legalized under the hemp The lawMinnesotans over 21 can now purchase products that contain no more than 50 milligrams THC and 5 milligrams each package.
Also under the law, an edible cannabinoid product may contain delta-8 or delta-9 THC extracted from hemp, even if the delta-8 THC is considered an “artificially derived cannabinoid.”
Ellison posted on Substack that he supported the new law. “I do not intend to restrict sales of products following the law,” he wrote.
Ellison’s lead letter tells another story. According to the author, “a correct interpretation” would be that the entire synthetic THC sector is based on illegal conduct.
In a footnote, the letter stated that it was necessary to clarify the definition of hemp within the Farm Bill in order for the federal law to align with the Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act, which prohibits any food or drink product containing THC.
Ellison’s letter, which he orchestrated along with Attorneys General Tim Griffin (Arkansas), William Tong(Connecticut), and Todd Rokita(Indiana), fails to acknowledge that a proposal from the federal government that was approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee. voted unanimously In July, the government approved a ban on products made from hemp. Quantifiable THC and THCA are both available in various amounts.
If that provision is included in the final budget bill, Minnesota’s edible hemp and beverage program will be at odds with federal changes.
Ellison, in his Substack article, described Minnesota’s hemp cannabinoid laws as being responsible. The law requires that products be safety tested, accurately and clearly labelled, and packaged so they do not reach children.
“Minnesota’s legalization was smart and safe-conscious and unfortunately, loopholes created by the Federal government are anything but,” wrote he. The result is that highly-potent THC products have been imported into Minnesota, which are being sold to kids. And I’m not going to stand by while out-of-state companies prey upon young Minnesotans.
Ellison said that he hoped that the federal clarification would help to prevent companies out of state from shipping goods in interstate commerce which ignore Minnesota’s carefully crafted THC regulation.
The Minnesota Attorney General said that while calling for Congress to act may have the potential of shutting down the entire hemp THC market in Minnesota, this was not his intention when he wrote the letter.
Ellison said that he wanted regulation and not prohibition.
He wrote: “People in our state enjoy THC edibles, which are produced and sold legally under Minnesota law.” The hemp used to make these products is grown and harvested by Minnesota farmers, and then sold and distributed by Minnesota Breweries. I hope this industry continues to thrive and grow. Also, I want the products that are sold in Minnesota be legal and safe. “I believe closing the loophole of the 2018 Farm Bill can accomplish both goals.”
