Judge tosses Minnesota ban on shipping hemp products

MINNEAPOLIS — Retailers selling edibles with low doses of cannabinoids derived from hemp can ship products directly to customers, rather than require in-person transactions, a judge with the Minnesota Court of Administrative Hearings ruled on Thursday.

The order stems from a complaint filed by Leili Fatehi, a cannabis lobbyist, business owner and partner with the Minneapolis-based consulting firm Blunt Strategies.
