New medical cannabis delivery method approved
Dry herb vaporization to be available Aug. 1, 2024
Minnesota will add dry herb vaporization to the list of approved delivery methods in the Minnesota Medical Cannabis Program. Under state law, the new delivery method will be available to patients beginning Aug. 1, 2024.
Minnesota Commissioner of Health Dr. Brooke Cunningham approved the new delivery method to provide an additional fast-acting option for patients.
Currently, patients enrolled in Minnesota’s Medical Cannabis Program have three fast-acting options – sublingual tinctures, oil-based vaporizers and combustible smoking. Fast-acting products can take anywhere from one to 15 minutes for the effects to set in. These products tend to last anywhere from one to four hours. Dry herb vaporization provides patients with an alternative to combustion smoking.
