An early 20th century amendment to the Minnesota constitution gives people the right to sell the produce from their garden or farm. It was originally written to protect roadside produce stands and farmers markets. A new lawsuit has been filed to have it apply to weed. The language of the amendment is very simple and clear: “No license required to peddle. Any person may sell or peddle the products of the farm or garden occupied and cultivated by him without obtaining a license therefor.”
If the state wants to prohibit cannabis farmers markets or person to person sales by legal homegrowers it might require a constitutional amendment.
In the cannabis caucus in the Minnesota legislature there are a lot of legislators who consume themselves. They tried to write the most pro user, pro homegrower version of legalization they thought they could get away with. This may be an Easter egg that they knew homegrowers would eventually find. They have a history of doing this. They made it legal to smoke in public anywhere you can smoke cigarettes without anyone really realizing that was in the bill, and they got the Republicans to support legalizing edibles and thc beverages three years ago by convincing them it was just a regulation of delta 8.
