Additional Information — <br /> Tobacco Sales <br /> Penalties Related to a Revocation or <br /> Suspension of Tobacco License <br /> A cannabis or hemp business license holder may also hold a <br /> tobacco license under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 461. <br /> However, tobacco cannot be sold in the cannabis retail <br /> location. Under section 461.12, Minnesota law allows a , <br /> licensee's authority to sell tobacco and related products <br /> under the section to be suspended and possibly revoked if <br /> the licensee also holds a cannabis or hemp business license <br /> under Chapter 342 or is a registrant under section 151.72 <br /> and that license or registration is revoked. This penalty also <br /> applies if the license holder is convicted of an offense under <br /> section 151.72 or has been convicted under any other <br /> statute for illegal sale of cannabis products. <br /> Clarifying Cannabis Businesses Authority <br /> Cannabis businesses will be able to sell vaporizers without <br /> a tobacco license. Under Minnesota Statutes, section <br /> 342.27, subd. 3(a), retail licensees are permitted to sell <br /> cannabis paraphernalia. Cannabis paraphernalia includes <br /> "all equipment, products, and materials of any kind that <br /> are knowingly or intentionally used primarily in ... <br /> ingesting, inhaling, or otherwise introducing cannabis <br /> products into the human body" [Minnesota Statutes, <br /> section 342.01, subd. 18(2)]. Therefore, Minnesota <br /> Statutes, section 342.27, subd. 3(a) specifically authorizes <br /> retail licensees to sell cannabis paraphernalia, which in <br /> this instance includes vaporizers. <br /> m MINNeSOTA Page24 <br /> OFFICE OF CANNABIS MANAGEMENT <br />
