Minnesota Cannabis Packaging Guide
Minnesota's adult-use market launched September 2025. Unique dual symbol requirement: every product needs both the universal THC symbol (IICPS per ASTM D8441) and a separate warning symbol (0.75"×0.6" min, yellow/black + red/white). 10% cannabis tax. Over 1,300 preliminarily approved applicants working toward licensure.

Dual Symbol Requirement — Unique to Minnesota
Minnesota requires TWO distinct symbols on every cannabis product: (1) Universal THC Symbol (IICPS per ASTM D8441) with 'THC' letters underneath, and (2) Warning Symbol at minimum 0.75" tall × 0.6" wide with yellow background/black text and red symbol/white text. Both must appear on the marketing layer. These are label-level concerns — not packaging structure concerns. All HIGHER packaging is structurally compliant.
THC Limits
Edibles: Maximum 5mg THC per serving, 50mg per package. Each serving must be indicated by scoring, wrapping, or other physical indicators. Must use FDA-approved food-safe material.
