## Resource

Minnesota’s cannabis industry takes another hit as one of its five licensed testing facilities shuts down, citing inability to meet regulatory demands affordably. With testing delays already crippling the market—keeping popular products like flower and vape pens off shelves for months—the closure threatens to worsen bottlenecks, leaving retailers and growers stuck in a waiting game. Consumers face longer waits, and the state’s fledgling adult-use market struggles to keep pace without critical infrastructure.
