The Resources for Providers page has been updated to include a section addressing adult-use cannabis and hemp-derived THC product consumption in long-term care facilities. You can also click here to go directly to the Frequently-Asked Questions about Cannabis Use page.
This guidance was created as a collaborative effort with the Office of the Ombudsman for Long-Term Care, Minnesota’s Long Term Care Imperative, and staff from the Minnesota Department of Health to respond to questions regarding recreational adult-use cannabis submitted by long-term care providers. It is not intended to be used by the general public.
This guidance is not intended to provide guidance for medical marijuana use, and may not address all provider questions. Facilities are encouraged to work with their legal teams to ensure compliance with all state and federal requirements.
