MINNESOTA:  A toasted sub sandwich chain with a marijuana theme wants to start franchising in Minnesota.

Colorado-based Cheba Hut was approved recently as a franchisor in the state, according to the Minneapolis St. Paul Business Journal.

The concept offers sub sandwiches in three sizes: a four-inch “Nug” (slang for a cannabis bud), an eight-inch “Pinner” (slang for a small marijuana cigarette) and a 12-inch “Blunt” (slang for a marijuana-filled cigar).
