By unanimous vote, the Austin City Council Tuesday night reviewed and adopted an ordinance for edible cannabinoids.

The ordinance has proven to be a thoughtful cooperation between law enforcement, the city, businesses and schools in reaction to a law passed by the Minnesota Legislature in July that legalized the sale of products that contain no more than .3% delta 9 THC.

Rather than simply banning the products, the ordinance sought to find a middle ground that was fair and attempted to answer questions left by some of the vague outlines of the law.
