š° News we're reading
ā¢ Proposed location of Thief River Falls cannabis dispensary brings debate (grandforksherald.com) ā East Grand Forks is cited as an example of how city cannabis ordinances had to be rewritten after Minnesotaās 2025 legislative changes, limiting where dispensaries could locate. That experience mirrors a current dispute in Thief River Falls, where residents and officials are debating whether a planned dispensary site near local parks fits zoning rules.
