Minnesota officials have granted the state's first-ever marijuana event organizer license, allowing adults to buy and consume cannabis products on-site at a festival this weekend. Artists famed for their embrace of cannabis culture—including Killer Mike, Warren G and Afroman—are set to preform at the event.
The state Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) awarded the special license to the Legacy Cup Festival last week, the organizers said in a press release on Thursday. This comes about two years after adult-use legalization was enacted in the state, with the first non-tribal marijuana shops opening for sales to adults 21 and older last week.
Two dispensaries—Legacy Cannabis Duluth and Waabigwan Mashkiki—have been approved to sell their marijuana products at the Legacy Cup event on Saturday.
"The Legacy Cup is committed to organizing a safe event—this festival is 21+, no alcohol, no tobacco. Medics and security will be on site," it said. "All Lower- Potency Hemp Edible Products and Adult Use Cannabis products sampled or sold at the Legacy Cup are required to be tested by a certified lab and vendors are required to have labs available for the public to see."
