Last week, on September 5, the City Council approved the second reading and adoption of Ordinance 828 and 829 regarding the regulation of cannabinoid products.
What does this mean?
Ordinance 828 Regulating the Sale of Edible Cannabinoid Products (Low-Potency)
Adopting this ordinance allows the City to regulate the sale of these products and ensure business owners remain compliant.
- If you wish to sell these products or have questions about licensing through the City, please visit wayzata.org/cannabinoid or call 952 404 5300.
- Please note that if you are currently selling these products, you will need to register with the Minnesota Department of Health by October 1, 2023, or you will not be allowed to continue selling these products.
