AGENDA ITEM: Approval of Low Dose Hemp Derived THC Consumable License-

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve Happy Greens LLC a Low Dose Hemp Derived THC Consumable License for retail sale
in Prior Lake.
BACKGROUND:
On August 1, 2022, the City Council passed an interim ordinance for a moratorium on low dose
hemp derived THC consumable for one year. It was anticipated that the State legislature would
address these products in 2023 as part of their session during that time. Unfortunately, the State
legislature did not address these products and the City’s moratorium expired on July 31, 2023.
In anticipation of the City’s moratorium expiring, on July 13, 2023, the Prior Lake City Council
passed ordinance number 123-08 requiring businesses to apply for and obtain a license for the
retail sale of low dose hemp derived THC consumables, such as gummy edibles and infused
seltzers. This license will be required to be renewed annually moving forward at the beginning of
the calendar year until such time the State Office of Cannabis Management assumes licensing
authority.
