The short answer
Last reviewed: May 20, 2026
HHC is illegal in Minnesota. The Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) explicitly prohibits HHC in Lower-Potency Hemp Edibles (LPHE) under Minn. Stat. ch. 342, which lists HHC alongside THC-O and THC-P as artificially derived cannabinoids that cannot be sold in the state unless the office specifically authorizes them. HHC is not on the OCM approved cannabinoid list, and retailers selling HHC products face embargo and fines of up to $1 million per violation.
