Some lawmakers who supported the legislation that legalized medical marijuana sales in 2014 said Thursday they're incensed that one of the companies entrusted with manufacturing and selling medical marijuana allegedly broke the law so blatantly. A spokesman for Minnesota Medical Solutions declined to comment on the bill. Minnesota Medical Solutions, or MinnMed, was chosen as one of two licensed manufacturers in late 2014. Republican Rep. Nick Zerwas also voted to legalize medical marijuana sales in 2014 but authored the House bill that could hit the manufacturer with a huge penalty and kick them out of the program. But she conceded that's a challenge given the second manufacturer, LeafLine Labs, would have a monopoly on medical marijuana sales for months or more.
