The East Grand Forks City Council unanimously approved the up to two year moratorium on July 5. The owner of CannaCorners in the city has mixed feelings about the decision.
Canna Corners sells products containing low levels of hemp-derived THC. The East Grand Forks store is the second location of Canna Corners, which opened in Crookston in August 2022.
John Reitmeier is an owner of CannaCorners in Crookston, Minnesota. He says the final version of the bill legalizing recreation marijuana for adults in the state is exactly what he was hoping for.
With THC businesses cropping up across Minnesota, both city leaders and store owners are testing the boundaries of the state's new law. It has a lot of cities responding with temporary moratoriums.
