Target is bringing THC drinks to all of its Minnesota locations after a successful test run

Imagine walking into your local Target for a bag of coffee and leaving with a six-pack of THC-infused seltzer. If you live in Minnesota, that just became the new reality. After a successful small-scale test run at 10 locations, the retail giant is going all-in by expanding its hemp-derived THC beverage and edible sales to all 72 of its stores across the state. This massive rollout makes Target the top license holder for lower-potency hemp products in Minnesota, signaling a major shift in how we access cannabis-adjacent refreshments.

The timing is interesting, to say the least. While Minnesota's rules are pretty friendly—allowing up to 5mg of THC per serving in edibles and 10mg per container for drinks—a looming federal ban on hemp products with more than 0.4mg of THC could shake things up later this year. Despite that uncertainty, major brands like Cann, Hi Seltzer, and Trail Magic are already hitting the shelves.

For everyday enthusiasts, this is a huge win for accessibility and normalization. Being able to pick up a low-dose beverage alongside your groceries makes trying these products less intimidating and way more convenient. It’s also a great way to explore alcohol alternatives; many people find that a 5mg seltzer provides a perfect social buzz without the next-day hangover.

If you’re checking this out for the first time, keep it simple: start with one serving and wait at least an hour to see how you feel before reaching for a second. Whether you’re looking for a chill evening at home or a social spark, having these options at a mainstream retailer like Target is a clear sign that the culture is moving in a positive, inclusive direction. Grab a cart and see what’s chilling in the beverage aisle!
