Legislation to legalize recreational marijuana for adults in Minnesota underwent a major rewrite Tuesday with the addition of new language to regulate and protect the state's burgeoning industry in low-potency edibles and drinkables.

And she said it ensures that the industrial hemp industry won’t face undue burdens.
The House and Senate legalization bills have already passed more than 20 committees between both chambers but still must clear a few more before they can get floor votes.
