THCA flower is not legal at hemp retail in Minnesota. The Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) applies a total-THC standard that combines THCA and delta-9 THC, so any flower above 0.3% total THC by dry weight falls outside the hemp definition. Commercial THCA flower typically tests at 15–30% THCA and is treated as cannabis flower, which can only be sold by adult-use retailers licensed under Minn. Stat. ch. 342.
