Starting Jan. 1, 2023, any business or person wanting to sell or offer to sell cannabinoid products of any kind in the City of St. Louis Park must have a license from the city. The St. Louis Park City Council approved a licensing requirement for sellers of cannabinoid products. This local requirement was designed to be appropriate and nonburdensome to ensure that sellers comply with the state cannabis laws and business standards of the city to protect the health, safety and welfare of the city’s youth and all residents. Applications can be found on the licenses page or in person at St. Louis Park City Hall, 5005 Minnetonka Blvd., St. Louis Park.

On July 1, 2022, a Minnesota law was passed that allows people aged 21 and over to buy and consume prepackaged food and beverage products containing no more than 5 milligrams of hemp-derived THC per serving and no more than 50 milligrams per package. The state’s legalization of cannabinoid products allows cities to establish licensing requirements to legally sell these products.
