Sen. Jim Abeler, a Republican from Anoka, said he didn't realize the new law would legalize edibles containing delta-9 THC before it passed.

Abeler chairs the Senate Human Services Reform Finance and Policy Committee.

"I thought we were doing a technical fix, and it winded up having a broader impact than I expected," Abeler told the Star Tribune's Ryan Faircloth. He said lawmakers should consider undoing the law.

LOL. But yeah this passed a Republican Senate because they didn't read the bill basically.

Amusing map by the way:

LMN partying hard tonight.

How long will this bill last before it gets overturned?

Couldn’t Walz veto the overturn? Is he even in favor of legalization?
Yes and the DFL controls the House.

It wasn't really by accident because it's what the House and Walz wanted, it's just that the Republicans in the Senate got the bill and were like "OK sure whatever" and passed it without bothering to read it or see what was in it. This bill passed unanimously in both chambers.
