MINNESOTA — Starting Friday, Minnesotans who are 21 and older can legally purchase THC-laced edibles and beverages. THC is the active ingredient in marijuana, and the newly legal products will give users a similar experience as to smoking cannabis

The legalization of some THC products reportedly came as a shock to at least one lawmaker who voted in favor of the legislation.

Sen. Jim Abeler, a Republican from Anoka, said he didn't realize the new law would legalize edibles containing delta-9 THC before it passed.

Abeler chairs the Senate Human Services Reform Finance and Policy Committee.

"I thought we were doing a technical fix, and it winded up having a broader impact than I expected," Abeler told the Star Tribune's Ryan Faircloth. He said lawmakers should consider undoing the law.

much better article.  some senators thought they were just reigning in delta-8, which was unregulated, but the language was broad enough to legalize delta-9 products:

Quote

Hemp and cannabidiol (CBD) products were already legal in Minnesota, provided they contained less than 0.3% delta-9 THC, the primary intoxicant in marijuana. That legal threshold did not apply to delta-8 THC, an intoxicating cousin of delta-9. As a result, delta-8 products were widely sold in the state in various forms and at dosages high enough to pose health risks, Edelson said.

The new law's milligram requirements apply to any form of THC, reining in the delta-8 market while also legalizing the sale and purchase of traditional delta-9 THC edibles and beverages.

...

Sen. Jim Abeler, a Republican from Anoka who chairs the Senate Human Services Reform Finance and Policy Committee, told the Star Tribune he did not realize the new law would legalize edibles containing any type of THC before it passed. He thought it would only regulate delta-8 THC products.

Texas has the same 0.3 delta 9 law, so shops just started making 8 gram gummies that equal a dose large enough to get you high. Weed edibles have been legally purchasable for a couple of years in Texas, just don’t roll the dice by driving around with it in your car.

State felony penalty group for gummies is some bullshit.
