MARIJUANA CONSUMPTION BANNED IN OLMSTED COUNTY PUBLIC SPACES


The latest local, regional and national news events of the day are presented by
the ABC 6 News Team, along with updated sports, weather and traffic.

(ABC 6 News) – Since marijuana became legal in Minnesota in August, cities and
counties have been working to enforce laws around the issue with public health
and safety in mind.

On Tuesday, the Olmsted County Board of Commissioners voted on their regulations
to ban consumption of the plant in public places.



These public places include city and county parks, restaurants, bowling alleys
and performance auditoriums. Smoking or vaping marijuana in any of these
locations could result in a misdemeanor.

“We really want to protect the general public from exposure if they don’t choose
to be exposed and we certainly want to protect children,” said Olmsted County
Commissioner Sheila Kiscaden.

The county enacted an ordinance banning smoking and vaping of marijuana in
public places, especially in areas where minors are most likely to inhale
second-hand smoke.

Olmsted County Public Health Director Denise Daniels says marijuana second-hand
smoke could be safety risk to public health.

“There’s been multiple studies done, right, looking at, are there dangers with
second hand cannabis smoke of which they have said, yes there is. And some of
those chemicals they have seen in the cannabis second hand smoke than even in
tobacco second-hand smoke.”

No one member of the public spoke during the meeting’s public hearing session.
With little to discuss after that, the board voted unanimously to pass the
ordinance.

Kiscaden says it was important to come together for, what they see, as the best
option for the people of Olmsted County.

“This is our role as a public health entity, we are the public health board, to
protect the public from exposure and children from exposure. We had many debates
about it and we came to agreement today,” said Kiscaden.

This ban will not have any impact on edibles if they do or do not contain
cannabis. But if you’re caught smoking in the wrong places, it could cost you up
to $300 dollars and community service work.
