Description
Minnesota cannabis regulators say they plan to hold a lottery sometime in the next two weeks to determine who will get to open up the state’s first legal marijuana businesses. But the Office of Cannabis Management is facing pushback this week after it rejected more than 1,100 applicants it deemed ineligible. That’s around two-thirds of those who applied.
MPR News correspondent Matt Sepic has been following this and joins MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about it.
