Voyageur Services 19 <br />Regulatory Framework for Municipal Cannabis Operations <br />Regulatory Landscape <br />Regulatory Considerations for Operations <br />Licensing and <br />Regulation <br />Municipalities must obtain appropriate state and local licenses to <br />operate a cannabis dispensary, which might include specific <br />municipal requirements that control how many dispensaries can <br />operate and where. <br />Understand and implement the correct taxation framework for <br />cannabis sales, which can be significantly higher than standard <br />sales tax. <br />Adhere to strict safety protocols for storage, handling, and selling <br />of cannabis. This includes product testing, and facility security <br />measures to maintain high safety standards. <br />Ensure that dispensaries are situated in appropriate areas that do <br />not conflict with community planning or cause public concern. <br />Enforce regulations that safeguard public health, such as <br />restrictions on sale quantities, ensuring product quality, and <br />monitoring consumption effects within the community. <br />Public <br />Safety and <br />Health <br />Zoning and <br />Land Use <br />Safety and <br />Compliance <br />Taxation <br />Source: Minnesota Department of Cannabis Regulation <br />24
