Is Delta-8 THC legal in Minnesota?

Minnesota does not currently list Delta-8 THC among the cannabinoids approved for lower-potency hemp edibles. OCM lists CBC, CBD, CBG, CBN, and hemp-derived Delta-9 THC. This page was verified September 2, 2026 and is not legal advice.

Why do older Minnesota pages say Delta-8 was allowed?

Some older material describes the registration framework that existed before the current OCM licensing system. The former transition period ended March 31, 2026. Current OCM and Revisor materials should control a current shopping or compliance decision.

Can I buy Delta-8 gummies at a Minnesota hemp store?

A product appearing on a shelf does not establish that it is approved. Ask the retailer for the product category, cannabinoid basis, and certificate of analysis, and compare those claims with current OCM guidance.

Will Delta-8 appear on a drug test?

Delta-8 use can result in a positive THC test. Standard screening generally looks for THC metabolites rather than proving which THC isomer was used.
