Meet with one of our creative Advisors to talk about the different tax credits that are available for your business. This session, approximately 30 minutes will get you the understanding on how you could earn money by hiring the right folks with WOTC. Online or In-Person (transportation rates may apply) Work Oppertunity Tax Credit (WOTC): Only 1 in 5.2 small businesses file WOTC tax credits. The goverment will pay you up to $9600 just for hiring a miltary vet who ends up working 400 hours in a year. What about a part time seasonal worker who does just 120 hours and you get up to $2400 back. Yes this is all possible but you only have 30 days to file. We will teach you how.

If a licensed cannabis ancillary provider in Minnesota is discovered engaging in black market sales—particularly with evidence such as Venmo transactions—the consequences are significant and multifaceted under state law.  1. License Revocation and Disqualification   Immediate License Action:  The Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) has the authority to suspend or revoke the provider’s cannabis business license if they are found to be participating in unlicensed or illicit cannabis sales. This includes any sales outside the regulated market, regardless of whether the sales are tracked through platforms like Venmo (the government tracks all transactions on Venmo $600 and up as of 2025).  Future Disqualification:  A business or individual caught engaging in black market activity can be disqualified from holding any cannabis business license for a period of at least five years. This applies whether the conviction is for illegal sales, conspiracy, or attempted illegal sales.  2. Civil and Criminal Penalties   Civil Fines:  The OCM may assess substantial civil penalties for unlicensed sales. Fines can reach up to $1,000,000 or three times the retail market value of the cannabis involved, whichever is greater, depending on the quantity and type of product sold[5][6][7].  Criminal Charges:  If the activity involves the sale of cannabis without a license, the provider may also face criminal prosecution under Minnesota Statutes, section 152.0264 (cannabis sale crimes). Convictions after August 1, 2023, are specifically disqualifying for license holders[3][4].  Felony Charges:  For intentional transfers of cannabis to unauthorized persons, felony charges may apply, with penalties including imprisonment and additional fines[8].  3. Enforcement Actions   Product Seizure and Destruction:  The OCM may seize and destroy any illegal cannabis products found in possession of the provider[6][9].  Public Notice:  Enforcement actions, including license revocation and product recalls, may be made public by the OCM to deter further violations and inform consumers[6][1].  4. Additional Impacts   Loss of Other Licenses:  If the provider also holds a tobacco or other business license, those may be suspended or revoked as a result of cannabis-related violations[10].  Civil Lawsuits:  The state may pursue civil action for the destruction of non-compliant products at the provider’s expense[1][2][11].  Reputational Damage:  Publicized enforcement actions can result in long-term reputational harm, making future business operations difficult even outside the cannabis industry.  5. Use of Venmo or Similar Platforms   Financial Tracking:  Transactions tied to Venmo or other payment platforms provide clear evidence of unlicensed sales and facilitate enforcement. Digital records can be used in both administrative and criminal proceedings to establish illicit activity[1][2].  No Exception for Payment Method:  The use of Venmo does not shield the provider from penalties; it may, in fact, make violations easier for regulators to prove.  Summary Table: Key Penalties for Black Market Activity by a Cannabis Ancillary Provider   Violation Type  Penalty/Consequence  Unlicensed cannabis sales  License revocation, up to $1M+ fine, disqualification[5][6][1][2][7]  Criminal conviction (post-2023)  Felony charges, imprisonment, permanent bar from industry[3][4][8]  Use of digital payments (Venmo)  Digital evidence aids enforcement, no penalty reduction[1][2]  Repeat or egregious violations  Civil lawsuits, product destruction, public notice[   In summary:  A cannabis ancillary provider in Minnesota caught conducting black market sales—especially with transactions traceable through Venmo—faces immediate business license loss, large civil fines, criminal prosecution, and long-term exclusion from the state’s legal cannabis industry. The state is actively enforcing these rules, and digital payment records make enforcement and prosecution more straightforward. Legal Consequences for Black Market Cannabis Sales in Minnesota in General Engaging in black market cannabis sales in Minnesota can result in severe legal consequences. The state has established strict regulations and penalties to deter unlicensed cannabis activity, especially since the legalization and regulation of adult-use cannabis.  1. Criminal Penalties   Felony Charges:  Selling cannabis without a license is a felony offense in Minnesota. Penalties can include significant prison time and fines, depending on the quantity sold and any aggravating circumstances.  Imprisonment:  Sentences can range from several years to decades, particularly for large-scale or repeat offenses.  Fines:  Fines can be substantial, often reaching tens of thousands of dollars or more, based on the amount of cannabis involved and prior criminal history.  2. Civil Penalties   Civil Fines:  The Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) may impose civil fines for unlicensed sales. These fines can reach up to $1,000,000 or three times the retail value of the cannabis involved, whichever is greater.  Asset Forfeiture:  Authorities may seize assets, including cash, vehicles, and property, if they are connected to illegal cannabis sales.  3. Administrative Actions   License Disqualification:  Anyone convicted of illegal cannabis sales after August 1, 2023, is disqualified from obtaining a cannabis business license in Minnesota for at least five years.  Loss of Other Business Licenses:  If you hold other business licenses (such as tobacco or alcohol), those may also be revoked or suspended as a result of cannabis-related violations.  4. Other Legal Consequences   Product Seizure and Destruction:  Any cannabis products found during enforcement actions will be seized and destroyed.  Public Disclosure:  Enforcement actions and penalties may be made public, leading to reputational harm.  Civil Lawsuits:  The state may pursue civil actions to recover costs associated with the enforcement and destruction of illegal products.  5. Use of Digital Payment Platforms   Evidence Collection:  Transactions through platforms like Venmo or other digital payment services can serve as clear evidence of illegal sales, making prosecution more straightforward.  No Protection from Penalties:  Using digital platforms does not reduce penalties and may, in fact, increase the likelihood of detection and conviction.  Summary Table: Potential Penalties for Black Market Cannabis Sales   Offense Type  Potential Penalties  Unlicensed cannabis sales  Felony charges, imprisonment, large fines, asset forfeiture  Civil violations  Fines up to $1,000,000 or 3x retail value, product destruction  Digital payment evidence  Enhanced prosecution, no penalty reduction  Repeat/large-scale offenses  Longer prison sentences, higher fines, permanent license exclusion    In summary:  Selling cannabis on the black market in Minnesota exposes you to felony charges, heavy fines, imprisonment, asset forfeiture, and long-term exclusion from the legal cannabis industry. The use of digital payment platforms makes it easier for authorities to track and prosecute illegal activity, and penalties are severe regardless of the payment method used.

Understanding Minnesota's Cannabis Regulations Many folks have reached out to CarpfishCreaive.com to ask this question... Under Minnesota law, local growers who cultivate cannabis at home (up to 8 plants, with 4 flowering at any time) cannot supply or contribute cannabis plants, flowers, or related products directly to licensed microbusiness owners. The law clearly states that a cannabis microbusiness may only purchase immature cannabis plants and seedlings, as well as cannabis flower, from other licensed cannabis businesses. This includes transactions with other microbusinesses, mezzobusinesses, manufacturers, or wholesalers, thereby excluding unlicensed individuals from participation. Key Legal Points We Found: Licensed Supply Chain: Licensed microbusinesses can acquire cannabis plants, seedlings, and flower exclusively from other licensed cannabis businesses, as mandated by law. This includes purchasing from various types of regulated entities. No Unlicensed Contributions: Unlicensed individuals or businesses, including local growers without valid cannabis business licenses, are prohibited from selling, providing, or transferring cannabis plants, flowers, or any products to licensed microbusinesses. Medical Exception: While the law does permit licensed cannabis manufacturers to accept up to two ounces of cannabis flower from unlicensed individuals aged 21 and over, this exception is specific. It is intended for a particular purpose and does not extend to microbusinesses aiming to purchase from local growers for commercial purposes. Transportation and Recordkeeping: Any transfer between licensed businesses must be documented thoroughly. Furthermore, products must be transported in compliance with state regulations. Contribution Clarification Table Can Local Growers Contribute? If Licensed If Unlicensed To Microbusiness Owner Yes, if both are licensed No Conclusion In conclusion, local growers who do not possess cannabis business licenses cannot legally contribute cannabis plants, flowers, or any products to licensed microbusiness owners in Minnesota. Only entities with valid cannabis business licenses may supply other licensed businesses within the regulated supply chain. Moreover, understanding these regulations is crucial for all participants involved in the cannabis sector. As the industry evolves, acquiring proper licenses will become increasingly important. Following the legal framework helps ensure that all activities remain compliant and protects the integrity of the cannabis market.

Always consult your legal team, but this is our take with the references attached. Cannabis Advertising in Minnesota: Billboards, Road Signs, and Creative Marketing  Billboard Advertising   Minnesota law strictly regulates cannabis advertising, including billboards:   Billboards are generally prohibited  for cannabis advertising. The law defines "advertisement" broadly and specifically excludes most outdoor advertising, including billboards, from permitted marketing channels.  The only exception is a "fixed outdoor sign" that meets very specific requirements, such as being attached to the licensed premises and not visible from any public place or thoroughfare frequented by minors. This does not include traditional billboards along highways or roads.  Key Point:  You cannot legally advertise cannabis products on billboards in Minnesota.  Adopt-a-Road Signs  Adopt-a-road or adopt-a-highway signs  are not explicitly addressed in the cannabis statutes, but these programs are typically managed by state or local transportation departments, which have their own rules about sponsor recognition.  Most government agencies prohibit advertising for controlled substances, including cannabis, on these signs. Even if not explicitly banned, the state could interpret such sponsorship as a form of public advertising, which is not allowed under current cannabis advertising laws.  Key Point:  It is highly unlikely you can use adopt-a-road signs for cannabis marketing in Minnesota.  Other Creative Marketing Channels  Minnesota’s cannabis advertising rules are designed to prevent circumvention.  Here are the main restrictions and some creative—but—compliant—approaches:  Prohibited Advertising Channels   Television, radio, print, and most forms of outdoor advertising (including billboards and vehicle wraps) are prohibited.  Any advertising that targets or is likely to reach minors is strictly forbidden.  No advertising within 500 feet of schools, playgrounds, or other areas where minors are commonly present.  Permitted and Creative Options   On-Premises Signage:  You may use fixed signs on your licensed premises, but they must comply with strict visibility and content rules.  Digital Marketing:  Direct-to-consumer email, age-gated websites, and social media (with age restrictions and compliance with platform policies) are allowed, provided you take steps to prevent access by minors.  Event Sponsorship:  You may sponsor or participate in adult-only events, such as cannabis expos or private gatherings, as long as access is restricted to those 21 and older.  Branded Merchandise:  Selling or giving away branded merchandise (e.g., hats, shirts) is allowed, but only to adults and not as a form of public advertising.  Educational Content:  Hosting educational seminars or informational sessions for adults can build brand awareness without violating advertising restrictions.  Loyalty Programs:  Direct communication with existing customers through loyalty programs or newsletters is permitted, provided all recipients are 21+.  Key Point:  All marketing must avoid appealing to minors, making health or therapeutic claims, or encouraging excessive consumption. Any attempt to "bypass" the rules with indirect advertising (e.g., through third-party sponsorships, public signage, or guerrilla marketing) risks enforcement action.  Summary Table: Advertising Channel Legality  Channel  Permitted?  Notes  Billboards  No  Explicitly prohibited except for fixed on-premises signs  Adopt-a-Road Signs  No  Not allowed under state and likely local rules  On-Premises Signage  Yes  Must meet strict requirements  Digital (Age-Gated)  Yes  Must prevent access by minors  Event Sponsorship  Yes  Only at adult-only events  Branded Merchandise  Yes  Only for adults, not as public advertising  Educational Content  Yes  Must not target or appeal to minors    Bottom Line:  Minnesota’s cannabis advertising laws are among the strictest in the country. Billboards, adopt-a-road signs, and most public-facing creative marketing are not allowed. Focus on compliant, adult-targeted, and direct marketing strategies to build your brand without risking penalties.  SOURCES: MNfulllegal.pdf Comprehensive legislation detailing the definitions, licensing, operations, and regulations for cannabis and hemp businesses in Minnesota.
