Registration Information for Businesses
OCM closed the registration system on April 14, 2025, following the adoption of rules governing Minnesota’s cannabis industry, which set in place OCM’s ability to issue business licenses.
On June 2, 2025 OCM will resume accepting registrations for businesses seeking to sell hemp-derived cannabinoid products (HDCPs) to consumers. The window will remain open until August 31, making it possible for unregistered businesses to become eligible to sell HDCPs (including hemp-derived THC beverages), during the busy summer season.
Businesses registered with the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) to sell hemp-derived cannabinoid products may convert their registration by applying for a lower-potency hemp edible (LPHE) license in fall 2025, as long as their registration is in good standing with OCM and they apply while the license application window is open. Registered businesses selling hemp-derived cannabinoid products may continue sales until LPHE licenses are issued, at which point only lower-potency hemp edibles will be compliant. LPHEs may also be sold by businesses holding a license for cannabis retailer business, cannabis microbusiness with retail endorsement, cannabis mezzobusiness with retail endorsement, or a medical cannabis combination business with a retail endorsement.
