While medical marijuana is legal in Minnesota, most people do not qualify. However, CBD in Minnesota along with Delta-9 THC products are available to anyone 18 years and older. While not as potent, these cannabis derivatives can alleviate mood disorders, insomnia, chronic pain, and much more.
CBD and Delta-8 THC are extracted from hemp, not from the related marijuana plant; both plants are members of the cannabis family. However, hemp has very little psychoactive Delta-9 THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. Rather, it’s high in cannabidiol (CBD) and mildly psychoactive Delta-8 THC.
Other cannabinoids such as cannabigerol (CBG), cannabidivarin (CBDV), cannabinol (CBN), tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), and of course, Delta-8 have recently gained attention. These are minor compared to CBD and THC but also have uniquely beneficial effects. For example, CBG has shown promise for its anticancer properties. While THCV does not have psychoactive properties, it does promote bone growth, making it a potential remedy for osteoporosis.
CBD in Minnesota is widely available, as well as other related compounds, especially in the Twin Cities area. You can find these made into CBD oil, edibles, vapes, topicals, and raw flowers. Local producers even make CBD oil for your pets.
You don’t need a medical marijuana card in Minnesota to reap some of the same benefits that THC provides. Completely legal cannabis extracts are available to provide relief for many of the same physical and emotional discomforts.
