For North Dakota’s medical cannabis patients, a new debate is unfolding at the Capitol—one that could bring edibles into the mix. Representative Steve Vetter’s bill, which cleared the House with strong support, argues that edibles offer a safer, longer-lasting alternative to smoking. But with a similar Senate bill proposing stricter dosage limits, lawmakers are weighing how best to regulate potency while ensuring patient access. As legislators compare both measures, the discussion reflects a broader shift in how medical cannabis is treated in the state.
