Minnesota accepts applications for hemp edible licenses as Pennsylvania hemp leaders form advocacy guild.

Minnesota's Office of Cannabis Management is now accepting applications for licenses to sell lower-potency hemp edibles, with a deadline of October 31, 2025. In Pennsylvania, hemp industry leaders formed a guild to advocate for clearer regulations and market rules, aiming to prevent exploitation by larger cannabis companies. The guild seeks age restrictions, bans on child-targeted ads, and strict product testing standards. Hemp products in Pennsylvania could reach a market value of $1.4 billion.
