PEQUOT LAKES — The Pequot Lakes City Council approved a city cannabis registration application at its regular meeting Monday, Aug. 4, for people or businesses seeking preliminary local approval to operate a cannabis retail establishment in the city.

The city received an application for preliminary approval for a cannabis retail business within the city — Pure X-Hale, which holds a valid license to sell tobacco within city limits and is now seeking licensure through the state to operate a retail cannabis establishment.

Crow Wing County will allow six such establishments, and Pequot Lakes' application was No. 4 in the county.

Next, the applicant may continue the process with the state, which allows up to 18 months to complete required upgrades and become fully compliant.
