Tomorrow, Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at 8:15 AM, the Commerce Finance and Policy Committee, chaired by Rep. Tim O'Driscoll, will meet in Capitol 120 to discuss HF 2426โa bill that threatens the future of Minnesota's cannabis industry.
๐๐๐ญโ๐ฌ ๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ซ:
HF 2426 is a corporate power grab designed to crush small growers and local businesses while handing control to massive corporations. These companies have poured significant political donations into the pockets of top lawmakers throughout the cannabis legislative process. Their influence has infiltrated the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), shaping policies that prioritize profits for a few over fairness for all.
๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒโ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฒ๐:
โ Increases cultivation limits by 50%, giving large corporations an overwhelming competitive edge over small growers.
โ Integrates medical and adult-use markets, allowing big players to dominate both sectors from day one.
โ Grants unchecked purchasing power, enabling price manipulation that will squeeze small farmers out of business.
โ Repeals manufacturing size limits, favoring large-scale operations and leaving small processors in the dust.
This is not about fostering a fair and thriving cannabis marketโitโs about creating a corporate oligopoly that devastates local businesses and strengthens the black market. The very policies crafted under OCM have already led to a booming illicit market, and HF 2426 will only make things worse.
๐๐๐ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒโ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ด๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐: Community is strong ๐ช , and community can win. Weโve seen time and again that when people come together, we can push back against special interests and demand policies that reflect our values.

1๏ธโฃ Show up tomorrow at Capitol 120 to make your voice heard. (DO NOT BRING BANANNAS THIS TIME; I KNOW EGGS ARE EXPENSIVE)
2๏ธโฃ Contact your representatives todayโdemand they reject HF 2426!
3๏ธโฃ Share this post to spread awareness and rally support for Minnesotaโs small farmers and entrepreneurs.
Together, we can fight back against corporate greed and protect Minnesotaโs cannabis industry for the people who built itโnot just for those who can buy it. Letโs stand up for fairness, competition, and community-driven solutions!
